The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Red Hongyi, who’s always eager to find a way to incorporate food into her artwork, has recently created a mural for Australian-based Five Plus Smoothie.
However, rather than using food as the medium, Red is using food as her tool. Armed with a celery stick as a paintbrush and several varieties of green paint, Red incorporates a pointillist technique, dabbing on one celery edge at a time.
Spoiler… she didn’t paint a giant celery stick. Please watch.

Remember, kids… Graffiti is wrong. That is of course, unless the wall art is created with delicious cake icing. Over the last few years, Montreal-based street artist Shelley Miller has enhanced a few urban settings by decorating the walls as if it was cake.
Often inspired by the textures, patterns, or existing graffiti of the wall — Shelley creates very temporary art that will last until it no longer adheres to its stone canvas. Or, until the locals lick it clean.

Street artist Blu recently created a mural in Ordes, Spain to advocate vegetarianism. While using his signature style and brand of humor, it depicts fruits and vegetables making the ultimate sacrifice via whirring blender, while a crowd of fellow produce cheers them on. Cows and pigs would never do such a thing.

Entitled Awakening, Russian artist and sculptor Arkady Kim recently revealed the world’s largest coffee bean mosaic. At around 30 square meters and using around 397 lbs of coffee beans, the highly caffeinated mural is on display at Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure in Moscow.
Passersby are encouraged to get up close to touch and smell the fresh roasted beans. But please, no licking the art. It’s on display until July 1.
