Artist Phil Hansen is a resourceful guy.

He ‘paints’ in a variety of unexpected styles using everything from typography to used matches, peanut butter and jelly, wooden slats and dandelions to create portraits and homages to Jimi Hendrix, Mother Theresa, Bruce Lee, Che Guevara and others, including (above) da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, rendered in burger grease.

Lots more of Phil’s work here.

He then proceeded to improvise a trademark multi-layered riff about pancakes on his iPhone.

On his iPhone.

Last Halloween, one lucky kid went trick-or-treating in an expertly-made Tusken Raider Costume. This year, his four-year old sister trumped him with the help of her granny, who whipped up a Tusken-beating Jawa outfit.

Ah, Star Wars, is there anything you can’t, etc.
