Photo of the Day: Jellybean Children
[Flickr: Khaz] "Life-size jellybean children and butterflies," said my friend while we walked past The National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia. My first thought: Huh? And then I looked up to see that he was just reading off the banner outside the museum. We didn't go in the museum to witness the jellybean children for ourselves, but I found this photo from Flickr user khaz to get a closer look at the installation by artist Sandy Skoglund. There are mirrors on both sides to create the illusion of neverending jellybean children whose heads are twisted 180°. They just go on. Forever. (Skoglund also made jellybean adults in her photograph Shimmering Madness viewable at sandyskoglund.com.) Related Amazing Chewing Gum Art Creative...'You Are What You Eat' Prints for Sale
[Photograph: Mark Menjivar] Remember Mark Menjivar's You Are What You Eat series of photographs? They were sort of anthropological studies of people as represented by the contents of the refrigerators or freezers. Now they're for sale at Jen Bekman's 20x200: 10"x8" for $20, 14"x11" for $50, and 20"x16" for $200....Photo of the Day: Mermaid Potato at the Humboldt County Fair
[Flickr: Extreme Craft] Because we really don't have enough diorama coverage on Serious Eats, check out this mermaid spud (mer-spud?) in a box from the annual Decorated Potato Contest at the Humboldt County Fair in California. Garth Johnson of the blog Extreme Craft shares photos of the starchy entries on his Flickr page. Since 1896, the whole county has come together with toothpicks and glue—and as crafting technology has advanced in recent years, googly eyes—for the event. The categories are divided by age of the potato dioramist and number of potatoes used.

[Image: Kevin Cyr] You may not think twice about the potential beauty of a derelict truck, but Brooklyn-based artist Kevin Cyr does. Check out his paintings of portraits of urban vehicles, many of them food-related.

[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."
