Eat Me: Appetite For Design

The original intent of Food Art Friday was to try to showcase one artist working in a specific medium. However, if we were to find an aggregation of the best food art over the past few years, packaged as a giant sugar wafer — we’d be willing to make an exception.

Eat Me: Appetite For Design, designed by viction:ary, is a celebration of food as an art medium. Whether it’s packaging design, branding, or interiors — Eat Me supplies sweet layers of the best food-inspired art available. Eat Me: Appetite For Design is currently available at Amazon.

Eating is no longer a pure experience of smell and taste but rather an effective agency to communicate and engage, an indication of cultural values, lifestyle, artisanship, criticism, aspirations and imagination this present day.

Perry also contributes to the trend of visual recipes, with a kitchen print for oatmeal cookies, banana bread, deviled eggs and more.

Guest Checks is a site dedicated to something that never gets old — taking the mundane and making it beautiful.

After the response we received from the Bacon and Egg Mittens posted here at Foodiggity, I wanted to find out more about the artist responsible. And I’m sure glad that I did.
