We've talked a lot about food photography here, or at least Andrew has.
Normally the idea of "foodporn" is to make the image look as appetizing, and food-like, as possible.
Photographer and illustrator Larry Knox, though, decided to play with his food in a different way. When commissioned to produce a low-budget cover for a War
of the Worlds reprint, He headed down to Philadelphia's Chinatown for inspiration, and came back with squid. It
actually turned out better than expected. A squid, a marble, a burner cover, and some hose, a couple of paint cans and
some candles actually make a pretty convincing, not to mention terrifying, alien destroyer. I can't wait to see the
finished illustration.My only question is: Larry, are you gonna eat that?
