It's not often that watercolor paintings are used as a medium for humor, however Jeff McCarthy does just that with his hilarious celeb drawings called 'CelebsonSandwiches.' The illustrations feature various famous people -- from Miley Cyrus to Aziz Ansari -- sitting on top of delicious sandwiches. The combinations are excellent too, from the classic ham and cheese to a more artisanal herbed turkey panini.
As the Internet truly loves sandwiches and celebrities, McCarthy's Instagram page has over 3,000 followers and will provide prints and custom work. The Los Angeles-based director is a perfect artist to capture the true aura of such Hollywood stars and masters every detail. From Miley's white crop top and matching underwear to the plaid shirt of Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman, the celeb drawings place each sandwich topping star in the limelight.
