Steve Casino: As I said, I’m an inventor so my job is to constantly come up with new stuff. It’s a real job where you develop new ideas for major toy companies like Mattel and Hasbro. So with art, I’m essentially inventing new formats to apply my skills to.

Insanely Tiny Portraits On Peanuts. Yet for artist Steve Casino, discarded items can be the starting point for amazing sculptures he calls 'monster infestations'. Best known for his awesome peanut shell art, which we've featured in the past, Casino also loves sculpting and painting the most unlikely of crazy characters into used or broken things. Made by artist Steve Casino, the tiny sculptures are made from peanut shells with the contents removed before being glued back together and sanded to prep them for painting over. He equips each of the peanuts with sticks for legs and arms, as well as various media for other accessories, then sets them up on a base to get them standing upright.

Cincinnati-based artist Steve Casino is known for his peanut art (which landed him a spot in the records of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not), but lately, he’s tackled another endeavor: making wooden pull toys packed with pop culture and mature flair. These toys pay homage to horror films like The Exorcist and and musicians like Jimi Hendrix.

People are so creative! I’m continually amazed by all the media used to recreate the likeness of Willie Nelson. Thank you Alice, from Georgia, for sending these links to Steve Casino’s art. He carves peanuts; visit is website to see his cool gallery.

There is a 4-step process I uses to insure my artworks last a lifetime:

1). Each piece has had the nuts removed from the shell.
2). The shells are sealed with archival urethane and glued back together.
3). The product is constructed, painted (taking up to 20 hrs.) and coated in clear acrylic when finished.
4). The final product is sealed in a glass dome

Yes, I do commissions of friends, family, ancestors, wedding toppers, favorite celebs, etc. Warning: They are not cheap. These are exquisitely-made pieces of art that take much time and skill to create.
