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.

Popsicles… so often they run down your arm and paint your carpets, are now being used by an artist to create masterful paintings.
Using the delicate strokes of a watercolorist, Othman Toma is able to create the soft tones seen in his other works that use actual paint. These paintings however are far more yummy, and you can indulge on any unused medium. See more here.

Just when we thought that we’d seen it all with wine in a purse, there’s now wine in a bucket. More specifically, it’s wine packaged in a paint bucket — a design concept by Lithuania-based ad agency, McCann Vilnius.
Created to help commemorate Beaujolais Nouveau — the release of new red wines from the French region of Beaujolais — the bucket o’ wine acts as a storage and handy pouring device.
It also provides a color chart, letting the drinker know how many glasses of wine it might take to “paint” your teeth various shades of purple. So, who wants to come over for a painting party?
