The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Eight-ball, top stem pocket. The Banana Pool Table was created by designer Cléon Daniel and carpenter Julien Forder — taking about a year to make. So the questions we have… How do you bank a shot when there are no straight sides? And, where does one find that much yellow felt? Find out more about the project here.

Brazilian graffiti artist Narcelio Grud recently left his spray paint cans at home, and instead used decomposing fruits and vegetables to create his urban art.
The project and short film Tropical Hungry sees Grud scour for leftovers at local markets. Grud then collects and separates his produce/paint by color, finds a blank wall, and gets to work. See the process in the video below.
Recently, we were exposed to the art form of banana tattoos… So why not banana sculptures? Enter “Fruit” by artist Matt James Stone — a series where bananas take the form of whimsical yet somewhat disturbing pieces of art. Some grotesque and malformed banana bread cannot be far behind. See more here.

We all know the deal… Bananas turn brown, we make banana bread. But for the creative artsy types who can’t necessary bake, we make Banana Tattoos. This particular bunch is brought to us by graphic artist Honey — who creates the portraits with nothing more than a banana and a safety pin. So they’re like prison banana tattoos — sweet.

German designer Sarah Illenberger creates what appears to be simple still-lifes of fruit or everyday objects. But upon further inspection, Illenberger is actually juxtaposing produce and other random items to create surreal imagery. The pineapple disco ball is a personal fave.
