If a celebrity were to pose on a sandwich, which one would they choose? According to artist Jeff McCarthy, Sia would sit on a brioche bun loaded with veggies while Beyoncé would slay on a pepperoni and cheese panini. These amusing associations are part of McCarthy’s ongoing project called Celebs on Sandwiches, and it’s exactly as it sounds—the Los Angeles-based creative realistically paints some of pop culture’s biggest icons sitting, lying, and standing on top of delectable-looking food.
Inspiration struck for McCarthy while enjoying this classic culinary delight. “The idea came to me, naturally, while eating a sandwich,” he told the Instagram blog. In a world where a fantastic meal can garner the same attention as a movie star, McCarthy has made it easier to enjoy both at once. “Our culture has a pretty serious love for celebrities and food, so pairing the two together just made sense.”
McCarthy sells each of his paintings as fine-art prints through his website, Celebs on Sandwiches.
