Vegans and vegetarians might want to click away from these artistic diagrams of meat cuts. Each design has its own spin on the butchering and filleting done to prepare fresh meat for market. Carnivorous consumers will appreciate the variety of meat-loving art; there's even a dress for a fashionista with a sharp sense of humor.
1. Cuts of Beef Tea Towel: This 100 percent cotton tea towel by Sunday Drive Designs features a hand-screened butcher's diagram of beef cuts. The towel is 18 inches by 28 inches and comes with a loop to keep the diagram of meat cuts close at hand.



2. Cuts of Meat Letterpress Postcards: These letterpress postcards by 4houndspress come in a set of five cards printed with a pig, lamb, cow, deer and calf diagram of meat cuts. The other side of the card features meat-related quotes from the likes of Mark Twin and Anthony Bourdain.



3. Exotic Meats Chart Collection: These charcoal-colored posters by The Word Shop feature an illustrated exotic animal and its corresponding meat cuts. These are the ultimate posters for gourmets who love game meat.



4. Tuna Fish Butcher Diagram: Another must-have item from The Word Shop is this Tuna Fish Butcher Diagram, which shows the different fillets and cuts of tuna. This ink-pen drawing was digitally colored to give it added pop.



5. Cuts of Meat Dress: The Cuts of Meat Dress by ImYourPresent and TheGunneShop is a cheeky take on the human equivalent of classic beef cuts. The "rack" cut is outlined around the chest, while the "ribs" and "shank" cuts appear at the waist and hips, respectively.
