In a creative slump, meet Carl Warner

[Stevenmarc]

At first glance, these images look like painted landscapes, including towering hills, mad sea and stormy weather in the background. However, if you look a little more closely you will see that the sea and storm were made of cabbage, in other photo trees are broccoli and the hills are baked potatoes. These aren’t paintings but true photos! Also everything you can see in the photograph is made of real food!

1. My first thought

when I saw this was that he used some combination of Photoshop and Painter. The fact that these are real foodstuffs is pretty amazing. The guy has quite an imagination.

2. I saw the video

On a local NYC station and had to find more of his work. Ever since I saw Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" series years ago I've been intrigued with the concept of creating the image.
