46-year-old toy inventor Steve Casino has given food art a complete new identity by transmuting empty peanut shells into detailed celebrity caricatures. Steve got the idea while eating peanuts at work when he stumbled upon peanut that looked like him, and from there the story of celebrities or characters on nuts started.
In past three years, he has created approximately 223 pieces, but for him the highest point was being commissioned by MTV to create twelve ‘Game of Thrones’ characters to promote season 5. Started with human and celeb faces, now Casino’s food art includes everything from monsters to inanimate objects.
Quite popular on Facebook and Instagram, Steve makes sure to update his friends and followers with his recent creations. Here are some of our personal favorites from the collection.
