Los Angeles born, and now San Francisco-based, mosaic artist Jason Mecier creates portraits of famous personalities with assemblages crafted of candy, food, yarn, dried beans and just plain junk.

In his licorice mosaics, he artfully twists red and black licorice to create uncanny likenesses of some of today's most popular entertainers and images from popular culture, including Kim Kardashian (above) and Taylor Lautner (below).

In his "junk" portraits, he uses objects to craft the images, including things relevant to the celebrity or personality of his subject. For example, he composed a portrait of artist Andy Warhol using Campbell's soup cans.
He's also used Good & Plenty candies to create a spot-on likeness of pop star Taylor Swift (see below).
