Deliciously Clever Food Face Art

Playing with your food is an act which is frowned upon by our parents when we’re young, but as we grow older and gain the privilege of eating whatever we want come mealtime those of us who like a bit of fun with our food enjoy playing with our food whenever possible.

Artist Noah Scalin has made food play into an artform, and he was recently asked to make food faces with the meals he was served at eight restaurants participating in the Broad Appetit food and art festival in Richmond, Virginia.

His clever linework via leftovers really shows off the character of each meal, and may inspire others to try their hand at creating a plate portrait the next time they're eating out.
