We’ve all played with our food at one time or another. Perhaps drawing our favorite team’s logo with the mashed potatoes [Go Devils!], or arranging our peas to form the Batman logo. The person behind Foogos still plays with their food. But unlike most dinnertime artists, this food-player brings an art degree and agency experience to the table… and is obviously an adult. The results are works of food art that mom won’t yell at you for.
Foogos specifically creates food logos and icons of sport teams, superheroes, and other images from pop culture, usually with ingredients influenced by the subject involved. The artist not only shows an incredible talent for design, but an appreciation for food styling — seen in the meticulous treatment of ingredients, and accuracy of each icon.
And no worries, according to Foogos FAQ’s, most of the food used in these projects is repurposed and consumed for dinner, or turned into a smoothie. All while keeping their elbows off the table.*
More Foogos can be found at their website. And big thanks to fellow food-player, Jake of Play With My Food, for the tip.
*probably not true
Scott… Agreed.
And thanks for the mention on your site… I found myself in good company there, and I look forward to future Foogos. Stay in touch.
I do think NJ will be a bubble team, but after getting burned by Scott Gomez, who at the time also would have commanded some good compensation, I just have this feeling that Lou Lamoriello won’t let it happen again, especially if there really is a cash crunch or ownership issues.
And Jake, I dig your site, too. Sweet stuff. There is nothing like food and Skeletor. NOTHING.
Jake… As Captain America is your weakness, mine is hockey. Good find.
Glad this was such a hit with you Chris. I was really excited when I found Scott’s site (I think I first saw the TMNT pizza on Neatorama?). Thanks as usual for the mention. I think you picked some really good sample pics, but I’m probably just biased ’cause one of ’ems Captain America’s shield.
GO FOOGOS!!
Awesome. And thank you for Foogos, it is the kind of stuff that makes my psuedo-job worthwhile. I will agree with you on the Devils overall, but I think they hold on to Parise if they’re still in the hunt, which I think they could be. But then they’ll probably lose him in the off season anyway, as another casualty of the Kovalchuk deal.
And my experience was that girls set up their Trapper Keepers so they wouldn’t have to talk to me in class. Oh well.
Good meeting you Scott, and again, Go Devils.
This was a super-kind write-up. Thanks, Chris. I’m sorry to say I don’t expect much from the New Jersey Devils this season, but I do think they will get a king’s ransom for Zach Parise at the trade deadline. It will be weird to see him in another uniform, but I just can’t envision it going down any other way.
And in case there is any confusion, elbows are not only ON the table, they form a wall around my plate, like when the girls used to make Trapper Keeper walls on their desks so no one could cheat off them in Social Studies.
