The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Veg of the Day — an awesome papercraft series by artist Polly Lindsay — is certainly nice enough when viewing straight-on. However, it isn’t until we catch a side view, that we realize what makes this project special.
Using layers of paper to recreate the intricacies of actual produce, they’re then spaced apart and tiered. This technique helps add soft shadows and depth to the minimalist food items. Finally, vegetables are interesting.

You share every one of your meals with your followers. So, it only makes sense that we finally get some good social media icons made from food. Created by Ukranian food artist, Daryna Kossar, the icons are worthy of any smartphone screen, and will act as a reminder to post your lunch.
Kossar also creates other fun food sculptures, including Super Mario Bros. and other cute characters seen below.

The main casting of Star Wars: Episode VII is complete… Let the geek madness and tribute art begin.
Although we think all of our Stormtrooper friends went down with the Death Star, and probably won’t make an appearance in the new trilogy, there’s a great new art series celebrating the extinct clone warriors.
Legion is a fun project put forth by Lucasfilm, where blank Stormtrooper heads were given to some heavy hitters in the creative industry to have their way with. The results are nothing short of epic, with the highlights coming in the form of an Ice Cream Cone Stormtrooper and watermelon head.

London-based art director, model maker & prop stylist, Jessica Dance, created a series which looks to redefine comfort food. The Comfort Food Series is knitted from lambswool into a few fully-realized meals.
Cozy up to a Knit Dog, Lamb Burger, or a full-on English Breakfast. Very comforting, especially if you decide to lay on it.
What to do with all of those disposable coffee cups? Well, if you’re creative and have some time to spare, you can use them to create a daily art project.
