Artist
Honey, founder of the website Sweet-Station, has
discovered a unique way to turn bananas into art. The graphic artist and
illustrator always has bananas around the house and, one day, she decided to
draw on the outside peel. But, the pen kept poking through the skin so Honey
picked up a safety pin and started illustrating through a creative pointillism
technique. She makes small punctures in the skin, allowing air to reach the
fruit. As the punctured banana peel turns brown, the organized patterns of dots
reveal various and incredibly detailed designs, such as portraits of The Blues
Brothers and Jim Morrison, as well as playful messages spread across a bunch,
like "I want a banana split."
Each
piece takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to create and, when she's done,
Honey takes a photograph and then eats her art as a snack! (by Katie Hosmer)
