Instagram user Falside recently created this series of edible Wu-Tang Clan emblems entirely out of food products. The series pays tribute to the rapper clan's enigmatic status as one of the first well-known American hip-hop groups.
While you might know the Wu-Tang Clan's music, chances are you've come across the group's W-shaped logo in pop culture. Falside recreates the iconic lopsided yellow W-shaped logo using various food items from things like rice, shaving cream peanut butter. Each Wu-Tang Clan logo is perfectly shaped by Falside, photographed and uploaded onto his Instagram. Falside's first post was of a Wu-Tang Clan ham sandwich. "I thought it would be funny to cut the ham into the Wu logo," Falside says. The picture instantly grew in popularity and and Falside has been making Wu-Tang Clan food art ever since.
