Pop Culture Characters Created Using Peanuts

Steve Casino, the guy whose name sounds like a Las Vegas hotspot, is apparently in the art business for the peanuts because he has chosen those tasty legumes as his model making canvas.

Steve has created some amazing looking superhero and pop culture character models using an ordinary peanut, one of three he keeps handy in case they break, some limbs made out of modeling clay(?) and an incredible paintjob that can take upwards of ten hours to complete.

The fine detail is what truly sells each piece, but I love the fact that he leaves the backside open, so you can see that it all begins with an unadorned shell and a vision of Mr. Peanut dancing in Steve’s head.
