A Likeness in Beef

A Likeness in Beef

[Insert joke about cannibalizing oneself here.] The video below, deliciously titled “Meat the Candidates,” shows the artist creating his masterpieces.  Mecier’s website is definitely worth a glance. A personal favorite is the portrait of Buffy of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” made entirely of beans.
