Andrea Bricco gives the expression playing with food on your dinner plate a whole new meaning. Her new series looks far better than my childhood attempts at making masterpieces out of mash potato and other vibrant vegies. Read more

It’s no secret that we at The Urban Grocer have a soft spot for any marriage of food and art. And so upon learning about UK-based graphic designer and painter Joël Penkman, it was love at first site. Penkman’s delightful paintings take as their subject everything from an open can of Spam, to Stilton on a digestive, to black forest cake. Read more

Sung Yeonju graduated from the Hong Ik University in 2010. This work is from the series, Wearable Foods, in which she makes garments out of food and photographs them. The garment above was made from bubble gum, the photos below are outfits made from winter mushroom and tomato. Read more

Adam Niklewicz’s conceptual sculptures toy with expectations of form as it relates to function, space, and physics. I particularly love his food-related pieces. Read more

Some people create crazy oppulent landscapes with food. Romanian-based designer Ștefan Lucuț likes it more simple. He takes a couple of noodles and creates minimalist art with it. Read more

When you hear the phrase ‘looks good enough to eat’, you might stop to look if it’s in reference to the new work by Chinese artist Yu Duoki (Ju Duoqi). These semi-beautiful cabbage women will make eating your veggies seem somewhat cannibalistic. Read more

Did you ever wonder what goes on inside a banana before you eat it? This photo illustrates the horrors these little yellow mates go through. We’re now seriously concerned for the emotional balance of the apples, melons and cabbages Dimitri Tsykalov tortured for his art.

Dimitri Tsykalov probably asked himself this very question when turning an apple, a melon and a cabbage into a skull. A true modern day Hamlet, it seems! Read more

Are you a sucker for a hearty Sunday morning brunch, but can’t stand the calories it packs in? Deliciously fluffy waffles, smothered in butter and sugary syrup and topped with the freshest berries the season has to offer are an all-day favorite. Now you can have your, errrr, waffle and eat it too. Sort of. This adorably yummy waffle ring from Hipster Chic comes with all the fixin’s on a silver plate ring.

OC Weekly just posted a dozen photos of food tattoos. I’ve seen some of them before, like the breakfast plate on the guy’s head. The best food tattoo I’ve ever seen though was on my old roommate — he had two eggplants spooning each other. They weren’t even anthropomorphized, they were just straight up eggplants positioned next to each other to make them look like they were in love. Read more

Most people crochet hats, gloves, and scarves. Clare Crespo, however, knits oysters on the half shell, hamburgers, sushi, and smoked salmon. Yup, it’s yarn intended to make your mouth water. In her latest collection, Crespo’s creative talent is focused on Mardi Gras, that infamous New Orleans carnival celebrated in her native Louisiana. Traditional, hyper-local eats, like seafood gumbo, beignets, catfish poboys, and soft shell crabs, have made their way into her inventive crocheted ode to the city. Read more

While perusing Kinokuniya Bookstore on my lunch break, I came across the book, Face Food by Christopher D Salyers. Face Food documents very elaborate Bento boxes called Charaben in which food is made to look like anime characters, animals, plants and flowers. Everyone from Piglet to Pikachu is portrayed, with foods such as broccoli, ham, carrot, cheese, egg, imitation crab meat, and more. I’m blown away by the creativity and time (anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours) that mothers — and father, sometimes — dedicate to making these works of art for their children to take to school.

If you’ve ever known the mouth-watering appeal of well photographed food, then the Eat the Art exhibition now on in Boston may be the place for you. This lip-smacking exhibit brings together a smorgasbord of food as art themed pieces from more than forty-two artists. Using various media, artists showcase everything from a miniature cocktail dress made out of the skins of clementines to flowers made of jelly beans. One of the highlights includes several of Andy Warhol’s iconic food-themed pieces. Eat the Art is on now until the month’s end. Read more

The figurative food art movement comes from sculptors and catering companies. But there is no doubt that this trade becomes professional when the artists start to use laser beams in order to modify the food. On this occasion, watermelons, onto which different figures such as tango dancers, the portrait of Van Gogh, a Chinese Turtle, or a bouquet of roses, can be superimposed. Read more

What to say about a portrait of Elvis on velvet made only with neon orange cheese puff crumbs and residue? This video from Eclectic Asylum is as intriguing as it is borderline revolting, though admittedly the end product is impressive. If that’s not enough, Eclectic Asylum has put out other videos where food is used to create odd portraits and paintings. Check out the Redneck Art made with barbecue ribs, or the vegemite on toast portrait. Despite the instinct to look away, it’s all very addictive.
Aoyama Hina describes her work as ‘super fine lacy-paper-cuttings done by a simple pair of scissors’. I call it unbelievable! The amount of detail in each piece makes you think it was cut by lasers. What I would give for her talent, and her patience. Read more
Having a bad day? Stuffed up? Not to worry! Thanks Magic Button. You just well and truly saved the moment.
Not much more needs to be said about this. Ricky Gervais, the funniest man in
Seriously, all you need to know is about Bob Bob Richard is this: You press a button at your table, and these waiters dressed in powder pink suit jackets will bring you champagne. Go. Now. Just don’t have a break-up date there, the champagne doesn’t taste as good then.
Breathing Earth is a morbid reference website that’s simply a flash map that tells you a country’s population, birth and death rates, and how much CO2 it emits. Read more
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs are primarily remembered for the song Wooly Bully, but I’ve been incessantly listening to Little Red Riding Hood. As a metalhead, any song that features howling makes me happy.

Communication prosthesis by Sascha Nordmeyer
This ‘communication prosthesis’ by designer Sascha Nordmeyer is hilarious and awesome. I want to wear one to a job interview.
Pencils made from recycled newspaper
The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.
Never ever, ever, ever, ever park here
Some friendly advice for the neighbours, who simply don’t get it, or street art? You decide which one it is.

Okayboss items are available for sale in the Lost At E Minor Store. Read more
