Self-proclaimed King of Jelly Bean Art, Peter Rocha and his talented nephew
Roger create impressive mosaics using thousands of colored
jelly-beans.
The two Rochas spend up to six months creating the sweet
masterpieces, understandable since they use around 10,000 different types of
jelly beans. Throughout their artistic careers, the artistic duo have created
over 75 jelly-bean mosaics, commissioned by the Jelly Belly Candy
Company.
Recently, Roger Rocha showcased a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
at the time of her coronation, in 1952, made from 10,000 jellybeans. The
4-foot-high artwork is now on display at Fizziwig’s Sweet Emporium in Brighton,
UK.
Check out a selection of the finest jelly-bean mosaics, by Peter and
Roger Rocha, after the jump.
