Move over Andy Warhol’s paintings of Campbell’s Soup cans, a painting of an Uncrustables sandwich is the latest piece of art inspired by food.
Tallahassee artist Noah Verrier was inspired by a box of Uncrustables PB&J sandwiches he bought at Publix.
The New York Times said that after unwrapping the snack, sunlight highlighted a drop of strawberry jelly and he was inspired to capture the moment in oil paint.
After two days of painting, Verrier had a masterpiece he put up for auction, selling it online for $4,999 over the weekend.
The childhood lunch box staple isn’t the first food-inspired artistic creation Verrier painted.
Verrier has bushed cheesesteaks, sodas and dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets onto canvas, usually eating the food before he captures it for the ages.
After a painting is complete, he posts the image on social media .
One of the bidders on eBay was Ryan Morgan, a political consultant in Arlington, Virginia, who told the Times, ” I think this is the rare painting that both me and my 2-year-old can appreciate.”
