One inch versions of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic of Nirvana made from peanuts
 
Artist Steve Casino’s creations are as cool as his name. Made from the entire contents and outer pod of the peanut, Casino’s tiny works of art can take up to 20 hours for him to complete.
 

Hatchet-Face, “Cry-Baby” Wade Walker, and Milton Hackett from John Waters’ Cry-Baby
 

Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad
 

Albert Einstein
 

Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
 
Casino also uses other materials to complete his figures, such as bamboo or wood, then fills the shell with foam to ensure the nut doesn’t crack. He uses acrylic paint to bring his peanuts to life, and the results are nothing short of magical. Especially given the fact that his salty subjects are only an inch to four inches tall. Casino, a self-described “toy inventor” says his tiny celebrity nutjobs will run you anywhere from $130 to $230.
 

Picasso
 

Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious
 
For those of you who always wanted to be immortalized as a peanut sculpture, Mr. Casino will happily custom design nuts to your precise specifications. A slew of images of Casino’s work that include Bruce Lee, Willie Nelson, Wonder Woman and (ahem), Edgar Allan Poenut, as well as a time-lapse video of Casino painting 50 peanuts in two-minutes, follow.
