Red Hongyi, who’s always eager to find a way to incorporate food into her artwork, has recently created a mural for Australian-based Five Plus Smoothie.
However, rather than using food as the medium, Red is using food as her tool. Armed with a celery stick as a paintbrush and several varieties of green paint, Red incorporates a pointillist technique, dabbing on one celery edge at a time.
Spoiler… she didn’t paint a giant celery stick. Please watch.

Whether it’s with coffee, chopsticks, or lunch… artist Red Hong Yi is very good at creating art with whatever’s available. This time, the Malaysian artist wanted to create a large-scale piece that would pay tribute to her homeland and the process of making the Malaysian sweet tea, Teh Tarik.
This time, Red’s medium of choice was about 20,000 tea bags, steeped to create varying shades of color and tone. The used tea bags were then placed together into panels, and then hung to form the picture of a vendor pulling tea.
Be sure to check out the video below too… Red’s creative process is pure awesome. Her tea-pouring skills… not so much.

Using not only 64,000 chopsticks, but 64,000 bundled and hanging chopsticks, to create the likeness of Jackie Chan. The project was made to help celebrate the actor/martial artist’s 60th birthday.
Check out the video below, as watching the work-in-progress is pretty awesome.

If you weren’t already keeping track, artist Hong “Red” Yi began a month-long photo series, 31 Days of Creativity With Food. And after a little more than a month, the project is complete, and she’s thanked her supporters in one of the greatest and most appropriate ways possible — with Alphabet Soup.
If only we communicated more via soup letters, Alpha-Bits and the like, the world might be a better place. Thank you, Red.
