Lunch Bag Art for Kids
Did your parents love you as much as the dad behind Lunch Bag Art, a blog that shows the cute lunch bags he draws each day for his kids? Mine may have been, but couldn't show it because they weren't as artistically inclined. I hope Dylan and Dana keep the bags even after they finish their lunches.

When an election lasts this long, people start doing all kinds of crazy stuff. For one man, that meant rendering the faces of both presidential candidates on slices of American cheese. Artist Esteban Pulido used liquid photo emulsion for his art piece, which will be on display in Normon, Oklahoma, at Forward Foods through the rest of the day. CNN even sent a crew out there to document the decomposition, which is nasty and, according to Pulido, metaphorical. Short video, after the jump....Sausage Art in Russia
Hypothetical conversation between watercolors, pastels, and sausage: Watercolors and pastels (to sausage): You think you can be part of the art community? You think you have what it takes? Sausage: Yes. Watch me. I'll go do it in Russia. And that's just what happened. We weren't sure if we had covered this before, but then realized, we had just covered many other instances of meat artwork.

To continue the theme of weird, artsy Jan Švankmajer films, this one-minute video tells the love story of two slabs of raw meat. What starts out so beautiful—the slabs tango on the cutting board and playfully toss flour at each other in new couple bliss—ends in tragedy. A sizzling frying pan tragedy. Švankmajer is a pretty "out there" Czech filmmaker who has a few cinematic fetishes, one of which is raw meat. (He also likes rusty screws and puppets.) One of the first things I did when living in Prague was see his film Sílení, which also involves stop-motion scenes with raw meat. At first the images startled me, but eventually you look past the threat of intestinal worms...In Videos: Surrealist Artist Jan Svankmajer's 'Breakfast'

If Starbucks and Staples got married, they might birth this latte printer machine. Recently featured at a graphics trade show in Los Angeles, the OnLatte repurposes your standard inkjet printer to use caramel syrup instead of ink.

The next time you slather the creaminess on toast, please realize: butter has another noble purpose. Inspired by the life-sized butter reconfiguration of Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, we wanted to dig deeper and better understand the curious art form. Butter Sculptures: A Brief History Tibetan Buddhists were first to bestow upon us the butter sculpture. Covering monastery altars and family shrines for years, the intricate offerings are still sacred today. Monk artists work in extremely cold conditions to avoid the inevitable melting issue. During the 19th century, the tradition spread to North America where butter sculpting has become a standard at state fairs. One of the most recognizable and beloved is Butter Cow, first created at the Iowa State...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
