Foodscapes: Complex Landscapes Constructed Entirely from Food

Think you have an infatuation with food?  Well, as always, you’ve been one-upped.  Carl Warner, artist and designer, is more of a foodie than you will ever be. He has used his computer graphics skills in combination with his physical “playing-with-food” abilities in order to construct some of the most marvelous landscapes that this planet has ever seen: foodscapes.  They make me want to close my eyes and dance with the night* for the rest of eternity, except for when I have to stop and go get more Cheetos.

Above, you can see the real life Candyland.  No, not the electronic duo, and not the wonderfully-crafted board game.  This is the real deal, folks.  There’s even a real candy-girl sitting at the bottom of that well and waiting to crawl up at you in a spider-like fashion!  (Movies… what have you done to me?)

Just think about how long it took for this man to create each of those little corn blocks, and then be amazed.  Also, think about how long it is going to take that no-legged mushroom to pull his little cart all the way along the Great Wall of China!  That’s true dedication – that’s all-natural brawn and determination.

Now This is Food Art: Artist Hong Yi’s Delectable Masterpieces

When a foodie happens to be an artist, you know what to expect next: food art. Personally, I find that nobody does it better than Hong Yi. She certainly found a creative way to create plated masterpieces that integrated the actual food items she used with the backgrounds that were also created using food.

I like the one of the doggy Oreos best. But maybe I’m biased, because I happen to like Oreos and it’s not exactly a secret that I love dogs.

Check out some more of Hong Yi’s work in the gallery below. And if you’re starving for more, then you can follow her project on Instagram.

This Awesome Art Made with Food Is Proof Your Parents Should Have Let You Play with Your Food

Do you remember yourself as a child? All that unbridled creativity, all that stepping out of the box, all that kidness. You used to be the Picasso with the dinner plate, moving peas here, swiping sauces there. It look like a real piece of art until… your mom or dad told you to quit playing with your food. WELL. You know what mom and dad? We all could’ve been an awesome artist like Brock Davis who turned food into wonderful pieces of art. More »
