This Artist Reinvents The Starbucks Mermaid On Each Of His Coffee Cups

What is it about the Starbucks coffee cup that inspires art? Is it the minimalist design? The unmistakable and perfectly-executed mermaid logo? Or, is it just the caffeine contained within that gets the creative juices flowing?

Either way, the cups have provided some of the best food art we’ve seen here. And, the work of South Korean artist, Soo Min Kim, is no exception. Using the Starbucks cup as canvas, Kim uses the mermaid as a starting point and rethinks the cup’s environment around her face.

The coffee mascot, by the hand of Kim, then becomes The Beatles, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man — or made to look as though she’s simply living amongst us humans. See more below and over at Instagram.

Lamps Made Out Of Real Bread Will Light Up Your Life

Bread… It makes sandwiches and croutons possible, and is a great resting place for soft butter. Now, bread is here to help provide some mood lighting.

Pampshade, created by Japanese artist, Yukiko Morita, is a series of bread lamps. The best part, is that Pampshades are made from actual loaves, buns and croissants. The breads are coated in resin and given a battery insert or power cord. Find out more about the carby lamps here.

These Mathematical Cakes Equal Awesome

Artist, Dinara Kasko, who we’ve covered previously, is back with even more mind-boggling Mathematical Cakes.

Often collaborating with mathematicians and sculptors, Dinara uses mathematical algorithms as inspiration for her designs. The result… confectionaries that belong on a fancy pedestal in a museum. The best part, is that the cake’s insides are just as beautiful.
