MoFA: ‘Portrait Gallery’ Specimens
- Title: “Man in the Pancake”
- Media: Pancake
- Submitted by: Pontus B. (Sweden)
- Pontus mentioned that it looked as if it was screaming at him. Several minutes face-down in a hot skillet — I'd be screaming too.
- Title: “Oil & Vinegar Smile”
- Media: Oil. Vinegar. Happiness.
- Submitted by: Lisa N.
- Another submission of mysteriously appearing smiley faces... this time in the mix of oil & vinegar at the bottom of a salad bowl. It is a happy world.
- Title: “Happy Ending”
- Media: One Beverage. Well-enjoyed.
- Submitted by: Paul F.
- A simple smiley-face appeared at the bottom of Paul's glass after a nice lunch. This kind of sign is much better than anything a fortune cookie could deliver.
- Title: “Shrunken Head Gum”
- Media: Gum. La Fiesta de la Victoria.
- Submitted by: Copernicus Johnson
- A smattering of gum on a doorstep in suburbia that strangely resembles a shrunken head. CJ says "It used to look more like an alien head, but as the months have gone by it's darkened into this."... If you look closely, it appears as if the "eye" on the left is hanging out of its socket.
- Title: “Chip of Latent Evil”
- Media: Chip. Sinister Intentions.
- Submitted by: Un tipo feliz (Spain)
- Sometimes the evil nature of food lies beneath the surface: but holding this chip to the light revealed its latent maliciousness.
- Title: “Mickey Strawberry”
- Media: Strawberry. Mouse ears.
- Submitted by: Emery Chen (Chapel Hill)
- M-I-C-K-E-STRAWBERRY-M-O-U-S-E! It's Mickey-Strawberry. OK, Disney, unleash your torrent of lawsuits...
- Title: “MelancholyComb”
- Media: Honeycomb Cereal. Sadness.
- Submitted by: Kristen M.
- The return of the Spooky Comb? No, this one seems more melancholy than evil. In two versions: With & Without Milk.
- Title: “Nose Dog”
- Media: Corn dog. Cosmetic surgery.
- Submitted by: Jenn M. (Ohio)
- A corn dog went into the fryer, this large-nosed creature came out.
- Title: “Snobby Eggplant”
- Media: Egglant. Numerous Lies.
- Submitted by: Steve G.
- I normally turn my nose up at the (rather disgusting excuse for a vegetable) eggplant. But, this one seems to be turning its nose up at me.
- Title: “Melancholy Egg”
- Media: Eggs. Ennui.
- Submitted by: John Y.
- John found, at his local pub, what must be the saddest pickled egg on record. John notes that "If I'd been stuck in a jar of vinegar for a few months, I'd be frowning too." What might be sadder is that when John returned to take a better photo — someone had already consumed the melancholy egg.
