It's a pretty awesome thing when you can confidently say that you love your job, and Kieran Gormley is a dude that most definitely loves getting up in the morning and heading off to work. He's the meat manager of Washington's Asian grocery store Uwajimaya, Inc., and it's what Kieran does with the meat that he manages that makes his art, and his place of work, so special.
Described as the 'meat master,' Kieran spices up the grocery store by turning piles of raw meat into incredible creations, using the uncooked grub as a sort of pseudo modeling clay. Most awesome of all is that the store allows Kieran to display his creations at the meat counter for all to see, giving customers the unique experience of taking home portions of dinosaurs, spiders and even iconic pop-culture icons like Homer Simpson andFrankenstein's lovely bride.
Kieran shows off his meat sculptures over on the Tumblr blog Epic Grinds, which is often updated with new additions. Check out some of our favorites below and be sure to head over to the blog to see many more!
Derek Nance doesn't make sculptures out of raw meat... he eats it!
