I would usually consider spilled snack foods a mortal sin, but after seeing the video of the Conan O’Brien Cheetos Portrait being created, I have to say these munchies best belong on the ground. To be able to create something as detailed as a human face from crunchy finger foods is sheer talent, but to have it be more detailed than most paintings is simply unbelievable.
The Conan O’Brien Cheetos Portrait was made using 2,000 Cheetos, which is approximately 50 bags worth. I just hope the artist of this masterpiece puts his work behind glass when on display, otherwise he may find a nose or a cheekbone gone.
