Erin Jang Arranges Edibles into Deliciously Charming “Food Faces”

Erin Jang

Illus­tra­tor and graph­ic design­er Erin Jang (aka @theindigobunting) plays with her food to form whim­si­cal works of art. Appro­pri­ate­ly dubbed “food faces” she arranges edi­bles on a plate that resem­ble facial fea­tures of var­i­ous sizes and shapes.  Erin has impres­sive­ly fash­ioned hair from octopi, eyes from fried eggs, eye­brows out of sesame pork, and so much more. It’s a lot of fun to see what com­pris­es each face!

These assem­blages start­ed appear­ing a year ago on Erin’s Instagram—she makes them for her young son, Miles, using the hash­tag #miles­food­faces. Since that time, she’s also cre­at­ed them for a Lucky Peach fea­ture called Food Faces.
