Grinning Bowls of Oatmeal
Do anthropomorphic bowls of oatmeal give you great joy or nightmares? J. Anzalone of the blog Paintbox shares her smiling oatmeal art. If they start talking, then we should probably have a separate conversation.

Photographer Kathryn Parker Almanas has a sort of medical, laboratorial style of food photography. Her shots of day-old danishes and French macarons appear in test tubes, sterile plastic bags, and shrouded with gauze. They are pretty spectacular, in a twisted necropsy kind of way. [via Feature Shoot]...Sculptures Made from Gummi Bears
Taiwanese artist YaYa Chou has a thing for making sculptures out of gummi bears. Her gummi bear rug, gummi bear ram, and gummi bear chandelier are just a few selections from her Gummi Bear Series. On her website she explains that by constructing luxury items out of a children's snack, she aims to explore "the relationship between food consumption and class."

I love the retro illustration on this box of Gerrit's Satellite Wafers, even if I have no idea what's going on. Snow capped mountains? Check. Giant tongue-wagging sun? Check. And...is that a crown peeking out from behind the satellite wafers? Uh. What? Okay. I could've owned this lovely box for just $9.95 from Economy Candy, my favorite candy store in New York City, but as I find Satellite Wafers to be one of the most pointless candies I've ever eaten, I couldn't do it. But if you like eating flavorless styrofoam-like wafers filled with 5% sour powder and 95% air, then go for it....Awesome Vintage Restaurant Signage
The best chicken wings come from chickens who sweat fear. From cheetafight.com. Cheata Fight Image Library by artist Anthony P. Munoz is full of great, mostly hand-painted vintage signs from around the world. Some of our favorite food-related signs include ones involving panicking chickens, "Chainese Fost Foods" from India, and this painted menu featuring a stack of pancakes and unidentified black disks.

Pie-rets combine two things that don't usually get paired: pies and berets. Thanks to Monster Crochet, you can now wear a fuzzy, inedible dessert on your head. The pumpkin pie-ret is appropriately garnished with "whipped creme," or a pointy white fuzz in the center of the hat. If you're a lattice crust person, go for the cranberry orange pie-ret (which could easily pass for cherry too). As far as the pecan pie-ret goes, the above model on the right makes a great case for it. All three were croched with an F hook. Sadly, no patterns were provided.

The striking images above are by Corey Arnold, whose website bio reads as such: Corey Arnold is a photographer and Alaskan crab fisherman. During October, January and February he can (or cannot) be found aboard the F/V Rollo in the Bering Sea. The rest of the year is packed with travel, gallery exhibitions, magazine and ad photography assignments with a bit of backyard gardening, cat maintenance, and skateboarding in Portland, Oregon. Arnold's photos from his Fish-Work series go on view tomorrow at Charles A. Hartman Fine Art in Portland, Oregon (134 NW 8th Avenue, Portland OR 97209; map; 503-287-3886), and will be up through December 20. [via Sullivan]...Carl Warner's Worlds of Food Art
Photograph from carlwarner.com Carl Warner's food photography has been circulating on the web for the past year, but we've never blogged about it on Serious Eats. If you haven't seen them before, his over-the-top food landscapes are amazing; by utilizing broccoli as trees, heads of garlic as huts, Brussels sprout leaves as waves, and loaves of bread as hills, Warner manages to create these foodscapes that at first glance look like foliage and land, not fruits and vegetables. Pieces such as Garlicshire and Broccoli Forest seem to combine classic food still lifes by Paul Cezanne with computer-generated images from Lord of the Rings.
