The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
In what could best be described as, “brilliant illustrations that toy with our fragile minds,” artist Howard Lee creates photorealistic illustrations of various foods and candy next to the real version.
The fun part of the project is trying to figure out which one is fake, before Lee reveals it… very often messily. Check out a few and play along. Winner gets bragging rights.

What a purrfect way to start the day… Adorable cats illustrated using coffee. Coffee Cats is a fun project by Moscow-based artist Elena Efremova.
Each of Efremova’s felines rely on the type of coffee being used. For example, a beautiful brown cat is created using the tones from an Americano, while espresso is used for a darker cat. Check out more below.

When you just don’t have the words, or you’d rather express yourself via a folded piece of cardstock, these punny greetings cards are here to help.
Brought to us by Brooklyn-based Greet ‘N’ Potatoes [nice!], each card is food or beverage-themed, and contains letter-pressed illustrations by Merrily Grashin.
Whether you’re trying to offer season’s greetings, express your feelings to a loved one, or apologize for screwing up — skip the face-to-face and let the card say it for you.

Pugs are adorable. But, when they’re illustrated as tasty treats, they’re just too cute for words.

We’ve certainly seen our share of coffee cup art. However, this appears to be the first time that coffee cup doodles have been inspired by architecture.
Artist Mark Poulier, specializing in classic architecture illustration, created The Leaning Tower of Coffee Cups. Intricately detailed, stacked and leaned appropriately — the tower looks just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Please do not pose as if holding it up, tourist.
