Mosaic Artist Fills Potholes With Yummy Treats and Food Packaging

October 18, 2018 by Chris Durso

The last time that we checked in with mosaic artist Jim Bachor, he was filling potholes throughout Chicago with ice cream.

Over the past few years, Jim has continued his work of improving streets and communities with more ice cream mosaics, unmistakeable food packaging and other treats. Bachor has even taken his talents to the streets of cities across the U.S. and abroad.

Bachor’s shop has prints and original works available, even a piece that showcases and old-school Swanson TV Dinner. We assume that he did the dessert first.

Um, This Ketchup Is Kinda Racist

August 1, 2018 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

There’s a new packaging concept for Fat Tomato Ketchup that comes in two varieties, red and yellow. The yellow version uses yellow tomatoes to pay homage to ketchup’s Asian origins, while the red is proud of its use of American tomatoes.

The packaging by Czech firm, MAISON D IDEE Prague, created fun characters with creative use of 3-D rendering, and… wait a minute… Is that a Native American tomato? Hold on a sec… Did they… Is that an Asian person as a yellow tomato? Wow, that went off the rails pretty quickly.

The designers, while explaining their use of the characters, provide such a genuine lesson in ketchup history and origin, that it’s hard to get angry at their obliviousness.

“We were delighted that we could connect the yellow packaging with a oriental character of the tomato. Finally at least something points to the origin of this beautiful westernized word ‘ketchup’. This word of a sauce made of fermented fish or mushroom paste (sources differ) was brought to Europe by sailors (most likely under Eastern Indian’s influence) from China on the turn of 18th century.”

Of course, this concept wouldn’t make it past a sketch pad in the U.S. What do you think? Cute, forgivably ill-advised, slightly racist, or all of the above?

Pantone Spices Are A Match For Your Meals

If you’ve ever needed to color match your herbs and spices to a particular meal, Pantone Style Spices are here to help.

Brought to us by Hungarian art director, Peter Bakonyi, the minimalist packaging adopts the color of the spices within, and is designed to look like a Pantone swatch.

Polluted Water Popsicles Are No Treat

June 7, 2017 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

To draw attention to Taiwan’s water pollution issues, art students Hung I-chen, Guo Yi-hui, and Cheng Yu-ti created Polluted Water Popsicles.

Although the sight of a popsicle stick makes people want a tasty frozen treat, these are not meant to be eaten. The polluted popsicles were made after the students collected actual water samples throughout Taiwan.

The dirty water was then preserved in resin, along with anything that was floating around in there — including bottle caps, wrappers and other random garbage. Yuck-sicle!

This Is What A Pizza Box at Apple’s New Headquarters Will Look Like

May 16, 2017 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

When you’re building a five-billion-dollar campus, antiquated square pizza boxes in the cafeteria just won’t do. Apple’s version of a pizza box is circular, patented, and designed to perfectly hold and preserve their employee’s desk lunch.

The shape, not only matches that of an actual pizza, but sort of mimics the shape of the campus itself. The box also comes complete with vent-holes, to keep the pizza crispy. Enjoy your iPizzas, Apple people.
