Pass The Syrup: Dad's Insane Pancake Art For Children
Nathan Shields is a man. A man with children (making him a...father? uncle? I suck at relationships *zing*). A man with children who he makes insane pancake art for. Why? Because if he doesn't they might turn to waffles. And waffles, as we all well know, are the gateway to Toaster Strudels. Man, you ever put all six icing packets on a single strudel? That shit is goooooood. Fine, I have no clue why he makes them other than because he can, which is the same reason I do 95% of everything I do. Wanna watch me drink coffee creamer through my nose?
A former math teacher, many of Shields' designs seem to have some geeky inspiration behind them -- get a load of the "Star Wars" designs or the fractals, a mathematical concept that when repeated results in a complex pattern. Shields is able to achieve such a fine level of detail by using a baster, which affords him much better control over the runny pancake batter.
"Eventually I'd like to try doing some portraits, but my skills aren't there yet," Shields told HuffPost. "Readers are welcome to suggest future themes on my website."
Listen: these sea creatures are only a smattering of Nathan's repertoire. You would be doing yourself a SERIOUS DISSERVICE to not check out all the other ones after the jump. He's got everything: Star Wars characters, dinosaurs, mathematical signs, fractals, body parts, lizards, insects, marine animals, dog breeds -- you name it. "Celebrities?" No celebrities. "Brand logos?" You know I'm starting to think you might be superficial.
Hit the jump for a ton more.
Thanks to Lisa, who agrees the best breakfasts are the ones that come with hash browns and cinnamon rolls. Oh hell yeah -- and grits! No? Just me?

So I've been in Alabama so long I don't even know what day it is and I've gained almost eight pounds. I'm heading back home today though so if you hear someone cursing you from 30,000 feet, it's me. This is a series of Star Trek character portraits by pancake cooking PRO Nath... / Continue →

Mmmm, bento: artsy AND delicious. Throw some Zelda up in the mix and, hello, side of lust! This particular box was made by anna the red, who was also responsible for some of the other ridiculous bento we've seen in the past. I first thought of making Link on his boat, but th... / Continue →

This is a gallery of several different exemplary digital painting techniques (sorry, no Star Wars porn here). I posted 10 of my favorites out of the 52, so make sure to check out the full gallery for the others. Some of the stuff is seriously mind boggling. Granted, I person... / Continue →
