Pizzeria Disgusto, A Punny Illustration Book of Italian Cuisine

May 15, 2017 by Chris Durso

Artist Michael Hacker has created a book of illustrations, celebrating Italian cuisine and creative wordplay. Pizzeria Disgusto is filled with delicious pizza, pasta and other Italian fare — only in anthropomorphic form and renamed appropriately.

Whether it’s E.T. made from spaghetti and renamed Spagh E.T., or a box of head-banging pizza called Moshpizza — the project is often reminiscent of the puns and gross-out humor of Wacky Packages.

Pizzeria Gusto is currently in Kickstarter phase, with lots of goodies available for funders. Check it out here.

A Visual Exploration of The Ingredients In Processed Foods

September 24, 2015 by Chris Durso

Sure, we could just read the ingredient list on the processed foods we eat. But, we usually have no idea what those ingredients are, and we’re still not convinced that some of them are actual words. I mean, Isoamyl Acetate? Ha, nice try.

Ingredients: A Visual Exploration of 75 Additives & 25 Food Products lays it all out — literally. The book not only breaks down the ingredient list in popular foods to prove that they’re real — but it provides an aesthetically-pleasing, albeit disturbing, image of all of them together. Ha, gelatin… classic!

50 Shades of Food, A Photo Spoof of Fifty Shades of Grey Featuring Food and Sex Toys

February 13, 2015 by Chris Durso

With the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey finally unleashed, the harsh reviews and parodies of the film are plentiful. Which leads us to 50 Shades of Food by photographer Bryan Regan.

The series, juxtaposing submissive humans for food items, includes a donut on a butt plug, a nimple-clamped lemon, and a poor little tied-up honey bear. At the very least, 50 Shades of Food could be a bit hunger-inducing… whether you’re “into that sort of thing” or not.

More can be found below and over at Regan’s site here. Sorta NSFW.

Goodnight Brew, A Bedtime Story For Beer Drinkers

September 26, 2014 by Chris Durso

Kids have been getting lulled to sleep with the uber-soothing Goodnight Moon for decades. So, why should hard-working beer-drinking adults be denied a bedtime story?

Goodnight Brew is here to take care of that, with a tale that takes us through the brewing process as adorably as possible. You might even get a late-night education on the different types of beer before you pass out. Goodnight drunkards everywhere.

The Sandwich Book Is A Must-Read

June 20, 2013 by Chris Durso

As far as books go, The Sandwich Book by Polish graphic designer Pawel Piotrowski is a real page-turner. The creative project starts off strong with a layer of bread, followed by a storyline of various meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomato and other condiments.

The ending is a bit of a disappointment, since the book ends much like it started… With bread. But the finish is helped along with a layer of mayo… So, four stars, a must-read.
