Photo of the Day: Portrait of Bill Cosby Made of Jell-O Shots

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.)

Photo of the Day: Monsieur Manatee

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....

Cute, Morbid Sushi Figures

It haunts you with its sad, droopy, suffering-rich eyes. Photograph from o-no-co.com The sushi-inspired vinyl toys from O-No Food Company feature two sad tentacled creatures whose limbs have been cut off for your sushi-eating pleasure. They're kind of cute and kind of...really sad. To be more specific, each one contains 176g of sadness, according to their nutritional facts. Designed by artist Andrew Bell, these toys are based off his print "Never Look Back." [via notcot.org] Related: Do Not Eat These Monsters...

Video: Room Covered in Melted Cheese

It's the fear I never had until now: to return to my hotel room and find everything—walls, ceiling, furniture, floor—covered in melted cheese. In 1999, Canadian artist Cosimo Cavallaro covered Room 114 at the Washington Jefferson Hotel in New York City in 1,000 pounds of cheese from the Swiss Cheese Foundation. I wouldn't have wanted to visit that room on a hot day. Watch the video after the jump....

How to Make a 3-D Paper Taco Truck

Remember those paper dolls that you could cut out and play with? Yeah, they were a total letdown. Why would I play in 2-D when 3-D dolls existed? Well, here they are in paper taco truck form from Goopymart! There are seven different models to choose from including Senor Macho Taco (for the macho men), Yum Taco (what else do you need in a name?), and Pirate (because pirates love tacos too). I printed out and made the Kawaii model, mainly because there's a blob saying "FOOD" and "LOVE" on the side. I mean if I had my own truck, this is basically what it would look like, give or take a few unicorns and sparkles. Related Video: Los...
