The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Part of Box Vox’s Package as Pixel series, is this vintage Campbell’s Soup tin sign. Created around 1900-1910, this execution of soup can as art predates Andy Warhol’s efforts by half a century.
And, long before flag burning was en vogue, these signs were deemed to be a desecration of the American Flag and most were destroyed. Because destroying a flag comprised of soup cans seems perfectly reasonable.
One of these signs recently sold at auction for $18,400.

How We Can Tell Martha Stewart’s Drunk is a handy guide by artist Lisa Hanawalt. It illustrates some of the warning signs that everyone’s favorite homemaker may have had a few too many.
Warning; the full comic can be a bit NSFW at times — that is if your workplace does not tolerate cartoon phalli, or the depiction of a nude Rachel Ray.

Give your guests the finger… Hand Turkey Butchery
Foodiggity’s favorite food artist, Alyson Thomas, brings us Hand Turkey Butchery in time for the imminent holiday.
Part of her ongoing Meat Sections series, Alyson proves once again that anything can be made infinitely cooler if broken down butcher-style. Even if it is mostly giblets.
Based on the concept of the traditional Mexican sugar skull, artist Jonathan Koshi created this fantastic illustration series. Koshi pays homage to a few pop culture classics, including Pacman and the infinitely awesome Spy vs. Spy.
