The Meat Magi, by Mark Ryden. (Oil on canvas, 1997).

The first painting I ever did that contained meat was called The Meat Magi, which I painted in 1997. It depicts an idyllic 1950s neighborhood with excited children running up to what would seem to be a brightly painted ice cream truck. Instead of selling ice cream, the commodity is actually meat. (meatpaper magazine, 2011).
