Dogs steal people-food… it’s inevitable. So you might as well embrace it, as food photographer Jess Lessard did, by photographing your dog in the act, and turning it into art.
Lessard’s 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kaya, was already a food-stealing pro, having hijacked a few photo-shoots, when Jess decided to include the pup in her art.
The result… an adorable photo series of a hungry dog. Or, perhaps Kaya is just really into food styling. Either way, we’d say “bad dog,” but, how could you stay made at this face?

The result… A reminder that fast food gets you fat, is evil, and that you shouldn’t eat it. You know, commonplace. Check out more below and over at Behance.

Let’s taco bout this purse. It’s a clutch made from raffia, suede, a satin lining, and is embellished with Swarovski crystals and embroidered silk-organza. Oh, and it looks like a taco.
The Taco Purse is brought to us by Charlotte Olympia and retails for $1,300… you read that correctly. But, what is this? It’s currently half-off, so the taco purse can be yours for $647.50. Guacamole extra!
