A meaty look at Americana
Local artist and self proclaimed carnivore Dominic Episcopo is embarking on a pretty unique photo project: recreating American iconography in meat form for his upcoming coffee table (or should that be butcher block) book, Meat America.
Episcopo is off to a great start with steak silhouettes of Lincoln and Elvis, ribeye in the shape of the great cattle raising state of Texas, an ode to Robert Indiana's iconic Love sculpture in the form of styrofoam packed ground beef and a Gadsen flag that no one will tread on due to the fact that it's made out of sausage.
Episcopo needs a little help to make sure that this meaty manifesto sees the light of day so if you'd like to help out head over to his Kickstarter page and donate to the carnivorous arts. Donating gets you plenty of great perks like signed first editions of Meat America and original art.
And while you're feeling generous, might as well hop over to Lucky Ant and kick in a couple of bucks to Hot Diggity's food truck fund.
