Peanut Artist: Man Recreates Celebrities Using Peanuts
SUBSCRIBE:
AN artist has gone nuts for his favourite celebs by painting their likeness on these amazing tiny peanut statues. US based toy inventor Steve Casino, 48, has spent almost two years turning peanut shells into these tiny figures. He has made almost 100 of the tiny four-inch statuettes to date- including well-known stars like Elton John and Johnny Depp. The intricate designs can often take up to 20 hours to create. Steve has even turned his unusual passion into a business, selling privately commissioned peanut statuettes as gifts and wedding cake toppers. "I love to eat peanuts," said Steve. "I eat them daily and they are always around. "My grandfather even grew peanuts so it just felt uniquely 'me' to use them as a medium."
