For your viewing pleasure….!

I received this through one of the email forwards and wanted to share with you this wonderful creativity! Smile

UPDATE: This happens to be the wonderful art of Saxton Freymann

Something about this creative person:

Saxton Freymann received his first jackknife on his eighth birthday, which he used right away to carve his very first pumpkin. Years later, he used that same knife to create many of the characters in Play With Your Food, this time with fewer injuries!

Saxton Freymann is the creator of seven spectacular children’s books featuring his fabulous food sculptures: How Are You Peeling?: Foods with Moods, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book; One Lonely Sea Horse; Dr. Pompo’s Nose; Gus and Button; Dog Food, also named a New York Times Best Illustrated Book; Baby Food and most recently Food for Thought. Freymann lives in New York City with his family.

(Thanks Nupur! Smile)
