The United Plates: Food meets art

Have you guys seen The United Plates series by artist and illustrator John Holcomb? His series cleverly uses food to shape each of the 50 states -- and Puerto Rico! I'd love to dedicate an entire wall in my home to displaying every state I've ever visited!

P.S. State pillows, magnets and a deeper look at the classic family vacation! :)

I want a GA one in my kitchen, I bet it's a peach pie or something. Maybe pecan.
