This food certainly looks good enough to eat.

But these mouth-watering creations would taste disgusting as they are, in fact, oil paintings.

They are the work of Dutch artist Tjalf Sparnaay, who has used his style of 'mega-realism' to create incredibly life-like pictures of chips, cheeseburgers and desserts.

But despite the greasy nature of some of his subject matter, the pieces are worth more than yesterday's chip wrappers - selling for an eye-watering £36,000.

Was really not expecting to like them much. What incredible talent he has, what an eye for detail, I love them
even though the subject is ordinary and mundane. They look like photos. :tu: :tu:
