Sweet Celebrity Portraits Are Made Out of Licorice

These licorice portraits look good enough to eat. Artist Jason Mercier is known for his celebrity mosaics made of candy, food, pills and make up and even celebrity’s own junk. For his latest project, called ‘Licorice Flix: Edible Movie Mosaics,’ he took scenes from some of his favorite movies and recreated them with pieces of black and red licorice in startling detail.

Mecier is currently running a Kickstarter to raise money for the series and its opening at the iam8bit Gallery in LA on November 3rd.

Check out licorice portraits of Freddy Krueger, Michael C. Hall and Taylor Lautner below. You can see other celebs on Mecier’s site.
