Mmm, art.

Artist Boris Toledo Doorm is blurring the lines between food and art by pulverizing his daily avocado into oblivion, then creating elaborate drawings with it — from the Mona Lisa to Grumpy Cat to a splattery rendition of Chuck Norris.

And yes, he still eats the avocado afterward. With toast.

"I usually draw with pencil and paper," Doorm told Mashable, but "one day while eating avocado, I thought of ideas to draw, so I was curious to know if it was able to use it as a drawing tool."

But being a food artist has its unique challenges, including not being able to eat your paint during the creation process. In the end, Doorm said, this deprivation made him "very hungry" — so he figured photographing his drawings would be enough to preserve them for posterity.

Good enough for us.
