Foam cup artist Cheeming Boey of Newport Beach, California, creates intricate designs using the underexplored medium of Sharpie pens. His Flickr set includes images of noodle shops, faceless diners, scaly fish, Japanese gods, and more, which sell for about $120 to $220 each. Styrofoam cups may typically be associated with ocean pollution and non-biodegradable landfill waste, but they are looking pretty snazzy here. Read this interview with Boey on the Sharpie blog.

We love it when people play with their food. Shorthanded Studio has a set of fifty food-themed prints (dubbed the "United Plates")—designed and silk-screened by Kansas artist John Wayne H., each depicts one of the fifty states in culinary form. Some are a little farfetched (Texas is just a Texas-shaped pile of peas), but others are dead-on: Kentucky as a chicken leg, Maine as a potholder, and poor Connecticut as a TV dinner. Prints $15 each, $35 for 3, available online....

Artist Andrew Salomone made a portrait of former Jell-O spokesman Bill Cosby out of an appropriate medium: Jell-O shots. The configuration of approximately 1,000 cups of Jell-O was unveiled last Sunday at Buoy Gallery in Kittery, Maine. There's an accompanying video of the portrait's transformation over the course of the night. (I assume most of it was consumed by the end.)

After seeing VerySmallAnna's cute paintings of animals and food, I knew I had to make a request. A week later, Monsieur Manatee was born. This red beret-clad manatee likes to nosh on crusty baguettes and bags of treats from Pierre Hermé—just like me! Thanks so much to Anna for making my office space a little bit cuter. If you commission a painting from her, I'd love to see what you end up with....
