Elvis Presley Painting with Cheese Puffs on Velvet - Cheesy Art in Cheetos
December 25, 2008 5:40 AM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

Elvis Presley Painting with Cheese Puffs???Well ... So the idea for this piece came from...what else...eating cheetos. My fingers turned orange and I noticed it created an accidental mark on my clothes. From there my thoughts went to fabric as a surface....poof...it made me think of velvet paintings. The Virgin of Guadalupe, Unicorns, and probably the most famous incarnation of velvet painting. The Velvet Elvis. It's kitsch. It's cheesy. Thus a Velvet Elvis painted with cheese puffs.

I've never seen Elvis rendered in a more appropriate medium. Now somebody needs to construct a bust out of peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Now an Elvis mosaic of portobello mushrooms -- that'd be something.

I think the implication is that this is a self-post because the new users's home page goes to http://fliiby.com/

Y'know, Elvis died from posting a self link.

And by self link, I mean straining at stool.

I LOVE YOU CHEETOS!

It's too bad about the self-linking. It was a pretty impressive work.
