Instead of just sipping coffee, Liv Buranday began using the grinds as a way to express herself artistically.

Sometimes the best way to make art is by exploring new methods or materials without any concern in mind. Grab items from your home and start using your imagination. That’s what photographer Victoria Ivanova has done by using colored pencils and origami figures to replicate a famous optical illusion, a retro video game, and more.

It is kind of a crime to munch into a famous painting, but if you really had to, at least slowly bite into the damn thing to appreciate it. The “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and “The Scream” have been remade in an on-going collection by Norwegian artist Ida Skivenes, who uses various foods on […]
