Would you like fries with that?

What do you do with ten ketchup packets and McDonald's french fries? Make a painting of Morgan Spurlock of course!Or you can take artist Jack Daws' route and build a replica of the Twin Towers using the same ingredients and sell it for $1,500.

Sorry, Daws' work is really named "Two Towers" but I had read elsewhere that they were intended as a replica of the Twin Towers.

I'd eat them, but I'm weird that way.

Well, the ketchup guy paints fast, and all, but he's got nothing on Vik Muniz.

We'll soon find out whether as many insects are drawn to the Daws sculpture as tourists were to the WTC.

I don't care how you shellac it, that ketchup smell is invincible and I bet this art stinks to high heaven.

It's an "image tag", youtubers do that to conrol what frame is used as a thumbnail. You'll notice the finished work is the thumbnail for the video.

Didn't his mother teach him not to play with his food?

Sheesh.

This was a pleasant way to spend a few minutes, thanks. They should credit the music though, which is "Express Yourself" by Charles Wright and the 103rd Street Rhythm Band.

Uh, that's the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band.

There is a small NSFW picture on the Jack Daws' link if you scroll down, just to warn those of you who might be browsing at work.

Thanks langeNU. I hadn't really noticed that one.

October 2000: Jack Daws' Jenga in Potato is put on the market for $250 dollars. It does not sell.

October 2001: Jack Daws releases Freedom in Pomme Frites. It sells for $1500.

Or you can make a throne for setting your burger on and worshipping it.
