Maurice Bennett was an artist in New Zealand who used toast as an artistic medium in mosaic. The billboard-size images are made up in pixel form, using a slice of toast for each pixel. The toast is soaked in polyurethane to preserve the artwork. His portraits include Mona Lisa, Elvis Presley, US President Barack Obama, Mayor of Wellington Mark Blumsky, and rugby player Jonah Lomu. His work has been featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not. Bennett died of cancer on 6 June 2016 in Wellington, NZ.
