Steve Casino Is Nuts

This is easily the coolest thing I've seen on the Internet this month.

Steve Casino is an artist and his medium is the peanut. The "Painter Of Nuts" takes peanuts and paints them to look just like actors, celebrities, and rock stars. And then he sells them for $500 a pop.

What? You didn't think he was working for peanuts, did you?

Here are some of my favorites:

Sid Vicious & Johnny Rotten

They burst on to the music scene in the late 70s, trailing safety-pins, anarchy and a keen sense of anti-establishment behind them. They shocked the good people of Britain with their lyrics and awed with their garish attire, spiked hair and studded armbands. Though their punk rock reign was brief – an ill-fated venture from the get-go, if you will – Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and later, Sid Vicious, a.k.a. The Sex Pistols, notoriously secured their position in music’s history as five of punk’s founding fathers, alongside their manager, Malcolm McLaren.
