Artist Sculpts Cheeto Portrait of Donald Trump: Crunch Trump©
[ad_1]
Satirical Art “Food for Thought” Offers Fun, Insatiable and Biting Commentary on Politics, Celebrity, and Contemporary Culture
NEW YORK, October 10, 2024 (CarryOnHarry.com)
–
Is it Fine Art, or is it a snack? Artist Robbi Firestone of SF LLC tantalizes art lovers and provokes critics with her sculptural portrait of the former Cheeto-in-Chief, a 4-foot-tall portrait of Donald Trump sculpted entirely from Cheetos.
Firestone chose Flamin’ Hot and Crunchy Cheetos as her artistic medium to symbolize America’s insatiable appetite for consuming politics and celebrity culture in bite-sized pieces. Food for Thought is a cheeky series critiquing contemporary, American culture through a humorous, poignant lens.
Executive Director of SITE Santa Fe, Louis Grachos, notes: “Robbi Firestone’s Crunch Trump© and Cheeto portraits are brilliant contemporary extensions of the longstanding tradition of Satirical Portraiture. Innovative in her use of materials, Firestone’s works reveal a sense of humor, are clever, and offer substantial insight into subjects, making this series of portraits so successful.”
Firestone invites the public to preview Trump’s Cheeto portrait as part of High Line Open Studios; October 12-13 from 12-6 p.m. at the West Chelsea Arts Building: 526 West 26th Street, #302, NYC, NY 10001.
By combining satire and pop culture, Firestone transforms iconic figures into larger-than-life Cheeto sculptures to spark laughter and conversation. Upcoming works include icons like Snoop Dogg, Eva Longoria (Producer of Flamin’ Hot), and others.
“My Cheeto series goes beyond the figures themselves,” says Firestone. “It explores our insatiable appetite and consumption of politics and celebrity culture—and how these crazy personalities consume us. I aimed to create something boldly relevant. Cheetos are omnipresent in American life, like these people. They symbolize our obsession with snack-able, quick digestible media—whether it’s politics, fame, or entertainment. The technically impossible medium mirrors message: Cheetos highlight our tendency for overconsumption, painting a portrait of a society in conflict with itself.”
The Food for Thought series includes Eat His Words, featuring Cheetos sculptures of Trump’s mouth phonemes to emphasize his exaggerated facial expressions, Say Cheese!, and Sign of the Times? to underscore the intersection of politics and commercialism.
Firestone is a mid-career artist whose work delves into ideas, inquiries, and unusual technical skill while exploring materiality. Rich in symbolism, she often plays with double and triple entendres that challenge the viewer to uncover layered meanings. Firestone’s artistic journey transitions constantly through both traditional and digital mediums. Her hunger to adapt and innovate invites viewers into a dialogue about the cultural and social symbols that shape our world.
Experience Crunch Trump© and more of Firestone’s artworks at her studios in Santa Fe and New York City. The artist is currently seeking representation for this series. Don’t miss your chance to connect with her in this intimate setting.

SENSANE, a Derby producer and DJ, will launch his upcoming album on 22 October 2026 via AHK Global Records, his own record label, according to the announcement. The album combines prominent voices from Panjabi music, new talent from India, and UK artists, marking SENSANE’s debut appearance as a vocalist.
The album follows SENSANE’s long-running mix of Panjabi and Bhangra traditions with folk, hip-hop, R&B, garage and electronic production, a sound he’s built his name on as both a touring DJ and label head. AHK Global Records, which he founded, has previously put out Punjabi-facing projects, including a five-track EP with vocalist Kulvinder Johal that reportedly debuted at number six and was described by some as the first Punjabi album to reach that position on its chart.
"This album brings together the sounds and artists that have shaped me," SENSANE said in the announcement. "I wanted the album to honour the legends, give new voices a platform and show where I’m going next. Putting my own voice on a track is a big moment for me, and I can’t wait for people to hear it."
Details about the complete track listing, collaborators, and SENSANE’s vocal debut track will be revealed before the album drops, according to the statement.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether SENSANE’s own vocal debut changes how listeners place him: as a producer stepping forward, or as an artist who’s been building toward this the whole time.

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
C’batch has released “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic,” an instrumental track built from a previously recorded guitar performance that the artist has reshaped into a new piece.
The release continues a pattern in C’batch’s work: revisiting prior work and reimagining it across multiple versions instead of viewing recordings as standalone pieces. Multiple outlets covering the release have noted that this approach — returning to older ideas and giving them new context — has become something of a signature, with this track functioning as the fourth installment under the “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light)” title.
The piece is instrumental, with the guitar serving as the primary voice throughout the piece rather than functioning as one element among vocals or other lead instruments. Coverage of the release has described the guitar as the connective thread of the piece, tying its texture and tone together in a way multiple reviewers have called cinematic — the arrangement building mood and movement without lyrics to guide it.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the track itself but the method: a musician who views archived material as material for reinterpretation across multiple versions, and building a numbered series out of revisiting it.
