An Artistic Anatomical Dissection Of Celebrities

Large Scale Portraits Using People As Pixels
Artist Craig Alan has created portraits of pop-culture icons using humans as the media. His large-format works of art are carefully set up using human subjects and then photographs them from above to create a pixelated image effect. Subjects wearing different colours (or holding coloured lights) can help create a special affect like those used in the Marilyn Monroe photo. We love large-scale art.

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.

Portrait Of Pippa Middleton Made From Crumpets
We don’t know much, but we do know two things are for sure: 1.) 28-year-old artist Laura Hadland has a weird idolization for Kate Middleton’s little sister; and 2.) That’s a lot of breakfast food.
