Gutzon Borglum chose granite cliffs to honor the presidents for Mount Rushmore.
Michelangelo chose marble for his statue of David.
But what medium would be best to honor Grammy and Academy Award winning rapper Eminem?Artist Enrique Ramos made a bold choice - Eminem in M&M's.
Yes - Marshall Mathers immortalized in chocolate candies.
His creation is both beautiful and delicious.
The Eminem portrait is made from more than 1,000 individual M&M's and measures 40 inches by 30 inches.
It took more than eight pounds of M&M's to create, quite possibly making it the highest-calorie work of art known to man.
Ramos, who lives in both Orlando and Mexico, is not afraid to dabble in unusual media.
His Mona Lisa painted on the back of a cockroach is a masterpiece in its own right.
He's also worked with flies, beans, animal bones and bats.
As you can imagine, his choice of medium and his non-mainstream works of art are popular throughout the world.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.
" Ripley's Believe It or Not!acquired this masterpiece and will add itto a unique art collection that includes Princess Diana made from lint, The Last Supper in burnt toast and Michael Jackson done in gumballs.
The artist uses his imagination, along with his extreme talent to create art that is totally hard to believe and unexpected.
The most common comment from one who has just seen his work for the first time is: "How in the world (or why in the world) did he do that?"
