Conan O’Brien may have left our television screens, but he hasn’t left our hearts. The dearly departed late night TV host is recreated using Cheetos.

It might seem like a strange medium at first, but as it all comes together it seems a perfect choice for the flame-haired funnyman.

For those playing at home, this tasty piece took more than 50 bags of assorted Cheetos, or nearly 2000 individual cheesy snacks. A little glue and varnish hold the treats in place.

I’m always impressed when artists take something as mundane as Cheetos and turn them into an artwork like this. I have a feeling Conan would be flattered!
