I can't believe it isn't some hot chick.
... because I like so totally did it.

"When I graduate from art school, I'm going to be the best damn sculptor in the medium of butter ever!"

You can't make this stuff up.

Apparently Submitter has never been to just about any State Fair (new window) in the US.

They should do a sculpture of Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris.

Is there one of Johnny Rotten?

Bill_Wick's_Friend: They should do a sculpture of Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris.

As long as it is done by someone like Jim Victor and not the guy in this article.

These blow away the articles pics.





I mention this only because in looking around his 'Fidel in Vegetables' made me laugh.

I'd spread it

Her skin, it's like buttah!

Dread Pirate Slasher: Her skin, it's like buttah!

So's her face.

He should introduce her to chocolate Jesus!

they made a butter statue of Garth Brooks.

But there's no proof- it was melted down to pour over a popcorn statue of Alan Jackson.


/not so obscure nobody will get it.

I'd spread it like the butter knife of an angry...ummm... butter spreading god

The oil has hit the butter.

Can I get some bacon on this butter?

Butters in the fridge...

So where's the butter statue of Johnny Rotten?

Butter everything.

/would hit
//off to buy ninety pounds of butter
///likes them petite

i foolishly thought margarine sculptures would be all the rage. all those art classes i took at the community college wasted cuz i didn't study butter.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: They should do a sculpture of Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris.

Well, the did do one of Brando in the Island of Dr Moreau:

All the hunger and poverty in the world and we've got dudes sculpting tits out of butter.

/sounds fair.

I was going to say that I've seen better, but there are some better sculptures above. And somebody did the Mike Myers reference.

Who's that on the horse? Mao Tse-Tung? Looks a bit thin but it could be flattery.

I got a great laugh out of the vegetable Castro. That would make a great animated TV satire--famous people done in CGI vegetables.

Recently Canada's "New" PM Stephen Harper was asked if he were a vegetable what vegetable he would be? The question was prompted by the fact he was holding a photo-shoot in a warehouse full of vegetables (courting the farm vote and the green vote--two fur). He said he would be a fruit because he's so sweet.

The show would practically produce itself.

Pun not intended, but there it is.

Now why, I wonder, did he sculpt her with her hips turned,
her plump buttery butt facing outward, her...Oh. Never mind.

Like butta

rcain: I can't believe it isn't some hot chick.


Believe it.

The first chick I've seen that I *wish* had crabs...

/melt it and dip it
//that sounded dirty

Butterface.

I'd churn it.

Whenever I hear about butter sculptures, I think of the cook in Passage to India who kept his pinky nail really long so he could better carve his butter sculptures.

And do lots of coke.

Don't get into a butter argument with this one.

You will lose.

USA! USA! USA!

I don't know what Submitter is smoking, but those don't look lifelike in any sort of way at all. They look exactly like sculptures made from butter.

I present evidence to the contrary.

Feh, that's nothing

Writer has never been to the IOWA STATE FAIR obviously.

Heywood Banks' Big Butter Jesus song:

In southern Ohio, just north of Cincinnati
I beheld a vision, next to the expressway.
Was a 60 foot jesus, with his hands in the air
looks like he's carved out of butter,
just like at the state fair.

Big butter Jesus
Sweet cream Jesus
Oh country fresh Jesus
Unsalted Jesus
Oh Promise Jesus
Imperial Jesus
Can't believe it's not Jesus
Oleo Lord.

Well you see him from the chest up
like he's about to do a back flip,
like he scored a touchdown
or maybe melting or about to drown.
Well I've been to the state fair
seen a cow made out of corn cobs
Garth Brooks made of string cheese
and the virgin out of olives.

Big butter Jesus
Sweet cream Jesus
Oh country fresh Jesus
Unsalted Jesus
Oh Promise Jesus
Imperial Jesus
Can't believe it's not Jesus
Oleo Lord.

Shipped in pieces on a flatbed
staring backwards was his big head
Driver stuck in traffic backups
desperately avoiding eye contact
Well don't make no graven images.
That's one of the 10 commandments
I hope the grading curve is kindly
You get to heaven with a 90

Big butter Jesus
Sweet cream Jesus
Oh country fresh Jesus
Unsalted Jesus
Oh Promise Jesus
Imperial Jesus
Can't believe it's not Jesus
Oleo Lord.

Can't believe it's not Jesus,
Oh spread the word.

Extremely rare butter trifecta now in play.

I just saw one of his sculptures last night, he does the annual Northeast fair held the next city over. I talked to him one year, he was in the midst of carving out a truck I think. His sculptures are always real impressive. I recognized your pictures right away.

/not so obscure nobody will get it.
Here's your sign that somebody gets it.

Big Butter Jesus? So not obscure...
My husband took a job in Dayton, Ohio. I went out to find a place to call home...saw THAT...
I was afraid. Very, very afraid.

So she comes pre-lubed?
