Brisbane’s celebrities recreated into art made of food

Some of Brisbane’s most iconic stars have been selected for a portrait project by an international artist who has created their likeness out of pizza, vegemite and nachos.

Brisbane’s most iconic stars have been recreated in the form of fast food, with an international artist creating portraits of ten famous locals from pizza and nachos.

International artist Nathan Wyburn was commissioned by Deliveroo to create the works of art out of vegemite on toast, smashed avocado, seafood, nachos and pizza after a survey revealed the 10 greatest Brisbanites.
