Better late than never! The Arian Foster video I'd planned but hadn't been able to even start before my vacation:
Health Warrior Arian Foster
This dude is pretty awesome, and makes touchdowns look easy. Thanks for the suggestion, Josh!
Subject: Houston Texans running back Arian Foster
Materials used: chia seeds (Inspired by Health Warrior bars, which I unfortunately couldn't get in Tokyo.)
[And now I'm off to watch races, meet up with friends, and bro down with Josh until Sept. 1st. Lots more when I get back!]
Cecil the lion
You know what makes this whole Cecil the lion killing worse? The fact that the hunter was a dentist. Like he couldn't just go do what other dentists do for fun, like buy some overpriced bike or something.
Subject: Cecil the lion
Materials used: croissant crumbs
Dark horse Van Garderen
I drew this guy last year, in the same crushed cookies, but figured he deserved another portrait. Fingers crossed he comes in second!
Cyclist: Tejay Van Garderen
Materials used: Oreos
Oreos + horses = Tejay?
Tinkov-Saxo
I owe Josh for the brilliant idea of drawing this millionaire.
Cyclist/team owner: Oleg Tinkov
Materials used: pirozhki crumbs
And some nesting pirozhkis:

I've had a soft spot for Bouhanni for a while now. I'm pretty sure it's because he has a thing for boxing (I had a thing for boxing back in the day), but his French nationality, penchant for Bosox hats, and that eyebrow sweeten the deal, too.
I'm hoping he gets a sprint win in the next few weeks!
Cyclist: Nacer Bouhanni
Materials used: kouign amann crumbs
And here's what happens when I go head to head with a French pastry:
