The talented San Francisco pop artist Jason Mecier paid very fitting tribute to the late, great Gene Wilder by immortalizing the actor as the iconic Willy Wonka in an amazing mosaic completely made of candy. Simply pure imagination. The portrait is currently on display at Giddy Candy in the Castro.
