[Image: lucylou.livejournal.com] Why are pickle recipe comics so great? Because they tell you to "stabbity-stab" cucumbers and warn you of "specs-fogging steam" when boiling a big pot of pickling spices. Lucy Knisley drew this after whipping up her own batch of full-sour pickles for the first time. The recipe requires pickles to lounge in their pickly juices for 24 to 36 hours, during which you are encouraged to talk to them ("C'mon! Be pickles!") according to step seven.

[Image: weloveyouso.com] In anticipation of the new Spike Jonze adaptation of the kids' lit classic Where the Wild Things Are, 29-year-old Brazilian artist Vanessa Dualib recreated the book's cover with kiwi, mango, anise, and, yes, that would be mozzarella for Max's wolf suit. Dualib is a very accomplished player-with-food. You can check out her other artwork, including an eggplant orca whale and prosciutto teepees, in her Flickr album ρLªYinG ωiTh mŸ fOoD.

[Moco Loco] The Clutch Light by Scottish designer Scott Jarvie is made of hundreds of colorful drinking straws bundled together, based on the structural composition of trees. The resulting pattern looks pretty cool, or better put by Jarvie on his website: "The reflective inner surface of the straw transmits the light in a directional manner creating a jewelesque effect."

Photographs by Hawk Krall Every week, I look forward to seeing what Philadelphia-based illustrator Hawk Krall comes up with for the Hot Dog of the Week. There have been a number of HDotW's that I've wished I could get high-quality prints of.

These are professional giclée fine art prints, printed by the fine folks at Silicon Gallery Fine Arts in Philadelphia. I can't imagine who wouldn't want one of these (all of which are suitable for framing) in their kitchen. Choose from four designs and stay tuned for more to be...

How exactly do you cut this? The winners of Threadcakes, the awesometastic contest where people designed cake versions of t-shirts sold on Threadless, were announced this week. "Noah Express" was the grand prize winner of the 3D cake category, originally inspired by the biblical zoo of a scene on this shirt. According to winner Jennifer Flynn, the gumpaste was the most frustrating part of the process—and don't even get her started on the snake. Check out all of the winners here. If there was ever a polar opposite of Cakewrecks, this would be it....
