Button said: 'The idea for "Cerealism" was a trip to the grocery store. When I was a youngster, cereal was a luxury item. A brand name cereal was a rarity in our house as they were consistently more expensive. Something like Cap'n Crunch made for pure breakfast heaven as a child.

LAME! Very lame. The folks that make the Rose Bowl Parade floats are far more talented. This looks like a Junior High art project.

I’d rather see a 3-D Dali piece with real melted clocks and whatnot.

Good grief. They wasted page space on this? It looks like something an elementary student would produce. Art? I think not.

Don’t listen to all these curmudgeons. I thought it was pretty cool. Even used one as my desktop picture.

What source of funding supports such trash?
