no starving artists here

Comparable to Mark Ryden, but without Abraham Lincoln and the bunnies, Victoria Reynolds paints spectacular portraits of meat. Grotesque and utterly gorgeous.

Her pimento painting, pictured second, reminds me of a baloney rug that I saw online once. It was a circular rug designed to look just like a big slice of baloney.

UPDATE! A link to the meat rugs!

This German company makes a whole deli-counter full of different types of meat rugs out of pure fleece wool: salami, beer ham, mortadella and blood sausage. Thanks for the link, Darrel!
