Fruit stickers are small, unassuming and under-appreciated. However, these little oblongs, squares and rhombi make fine collectibles, and often employ a brilliant use of design and typography. Now, the versatile decals are a t-shirt.
The Fruit Sticker T-shirt is brought to us by art project, Fruit Stickers, and shirt-maker Everpress. The tees are now available for pre-order and, the best part, is that each one comes with a set of fruit stickers. No trip to the produce section necessary.
Look at that sad smoothie of yours. One boring color, probably a depressing shade of green, not groovy at all. Fortunately, Rachel Lorton is changing the smoothie aesthetic as we know it.
Using all-natural vegan ingredients, Rachel creates mind-blowing Smoothie Art. Most impressive is that Rachel relies on the natural colors of the ingredients to create these psychedelic smoothies. See more below and over on Instagram.
Italian artist, Daniele Barresi, creates fruit and vegetable masterpieces. One of his latest works is a race against time, with a beautiful avocado carving that took about one hour.
The avocado pit, which is often a nuisance, becomes the centerpiece of the intricate fruit art. Barresi works with various types of fruits and vegetables, and sometimes soap. See more below and over on Instagram.

It’s probably best if you just go ahead and watch the 3d-animated, Still Life, by artist Mike Pelletier. Then, decide for yourself if it’s soothing, disturbing, or a bit of both.
Perhaps the video will even stir up new emotions… ones that didn’t exist before watching foods flop around to a synth soundtrack. Enjoy.

Although, at first appearance, these appear to be some kind of new and awesome fruit chews, they’re actually an art project to help bring awareness to the industrialization of produce.
The student art project, cm-VEGE by Takuma Kamata, paints a grim picture of where we may be headed with genetic modification. With the use of PVC pipe, acrylic paint, cardboard, wood, and other materials — Kamata reinvents fruits and vegetables in cylindrical form, imagining that they’d be easier for suppliers to ship.
They would certainly be easier to slice. See more of the project below.
