We love classic works of art (and contemporary works too) which is why this collection of famous works made from balloons by New York artist Larry Moss caught our eye and made us say WHOA!

Baldwin & Fey 30 Rock Portrait Made From Nerds
Artist Andrew Salomone not only has great taste in candy, but actors, too. He has made portraits of 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and co-star Alec Baldwin using Wonka Nerds candy. The results are pretty awesome, and if consumed, delicious too. There is more to this work of art than meets the eye, because without a careful attention to procedure, Salomone could find himself with a crumbling ...
