The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Few things could make our morning coffee any more awesome. That is unless our drinking vessels looked like Iron Man or Woody from Toy Story.
Artist Jacob Parr wants to help make coffee even awesomer, with There’s a Capp For That. The illustration series explores the idea that most pop culture characters are easily recognizable in any form. And, that the viewer would embrace any idea that had to do with coffee.
See more of the series below and over at Parr’s Behance site.

Proving that fruits and vegetables can be cute too, Hong Kong-based cook SimC creates adorable food art scenes, with no meat anywhere in sight.

Rather than fill up his blue recycling tub with cans, artist Makaon reuses his empties, converting them into pop culture characters.
From a beer can Vader to aluminum Woody and Buzz — cans are cut and shaped into the characters, while using the can’s existing color pattern to perfection.
