sausage and beans


this wonderfully simple image was made by Andi Farr, a freelance graphic+web designer from northeast england.

taco cat


found this on ffffound. i think its pretty funny, especially because the look on the cat's face says, "i'm constipated."

mouthwatering soap



when i first saw this, i thought it was that plastic food you played with when you were five. well, that's not what this is, although i don't see why your kid couldn't play with it, it's soap. unlike some things on this blog, it is also vegan friendly. although it looks like a burger and fries, it does not smell like a burger and fries, they smell like bakery items and soda, which is probably a good thing.

beautiful sausage


this packaging of dymov ultra sausage was designed by firma in russia. it comes in an sumptuous array of beautiful patterns and colors. i have to say, i'm not much of a sausage fan, but this makes me think i might need to give it another chance!

plushy


who wouldn't want to cuddle up with a giant ham at night? sweet meats, created by lauren venell, are an interesting twist on the world of stuffed animals. although, i don't see this helping america's obesity problem, with a child spooning a steak at night.

meataterian


a teacher of mine had shown us this viral video his agency, kirshenbaum bond, had unleashed on the world. i hear that this is how the best vegetables are fed.

simply bacon


this is a piece (of bacon) made by sarah illenberger for enroute magazine. i love how it is both so flat and so three dimensional, such a neat dichotomy. i feel like i've been seeing this a lot lately.

meat lovers


here is some stop motion at its finest. don't we all wish we could be as happy as these two hunks of meat? well, except before they are fried.

a typeface to keep refrigerated


an individually packed meat typeface, by robert bolesta, a pratt graduate.

a tasty bouquet


i found this balloon bouquet a while ago, i believe through ffffound. unfortunately, since i'm not quite sure of where it is from, i also don't know the artist. anyway, it is a cool perspective, considering this is not on a table, but floating in front of a giant plate. for my graduation, i don't want a shiny silver balloon and flowers, i want one of these!

inspiration

about this time last year i was assigned a lion brand yarn campaign. so, taking my knitting ability, i decided to knit something that would not commonly be knit, like, say, a steak. after knitting this steak, i took it to the grocery store and had it shrink wrapped on a styrofoam tray. needless to say, everyone loved it. above is one of the finished print ads. unfortunately, im not a photographer, so the photo is sub-par. after this, i continued to knit other meats and people kept sending me meat related art. thus a new blog is born!
