Mimic madness in the pantry

Travis Mullins is an artist based in Warsaw, Indiana who specialises in painting, wood carving, sculpture and performance art.

Mullins has created zombie gnomes, turned teddys into monsters and pencil holders into horrors. More recently, the artist has been working with cans of soda, and it conjures to mind what might happen if D&D’s iconic Mimic monster ever got into a household pantry.

Monster monster

[I can tackle this]

Pepsi? Perhaps

[My fingers!]

What’s the worst that could happen?

[Defend Dr Pepper]

Thes fake cans are made from original cans, super Sculpey, hot glue and acrylic paint.

At the time of writing, the Etsy store TravisMullinsArt has over 70 reviews and a perfect 5/5 star score, but then I imagine we’re dealing with specialist buyers who know precisely what they’re after. Surely the chances of someone buying a monstrous Monster energy drink without careful research is pretty slim!
