The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Vera Wong is a talented illustrator with an obsession for pop-culture and potassium. Using a banana as her canvas, Wong transforms the fruit into various pop culture characters.
While paint and ink begin to give the banana some personality, the art really comes to life with the addition of paper and other props. Wong then peels open and eats every character, so there’s no food waste. Check out more below.

Since the discovery that a banana makes for a wonderful canvas, we’ve seen our share of banana art. But rather than simply taking advantage of the fruit’s easily bruisable skin, artist Marta Grossi takes the art form a bit further.
Although most of the Italian artist’s works are in the medium of banana-browning, she also incorporates pen, marker and paint — creating the beautiful, yet temporary art. She also eats each banana after snapping photos, so she’s talented and high on potassium.

The art of banana tattooing is nothing new. But we may have just found the master of banana-bruising, in artist End Cape.
As a reminder, the art is created by sticking a pin into the banana’s flesh, that results in the color change. Cape’s banana pointillism is extremely time-consuming, with one piece sometimes taking more than five hours. We just hope that his family enjoys banana bread.
