Description
I was eating lunch and happened to have a scalpel next to me, so it had to be done - it's quite nice how you cant see anything for a few minutes after scratching it and then the image slowly fades in.. I've been playing with my food since 1986 - First upload in ages, I swear it's the (minor) effort of choosing the categories that stops me uploading more stuff!The weather here in the UK has been amazing recently, hope you've all got the good weather wherever you are!
Big love

Okay, I had to giggle at the "I was eating lunch and happened to have a scalpel next to me". I dunno why, but it seems odd. XD

I have carved/drawn on bananas before, but never anything that intricate. Must try. I love this!

This is the most creative way of making art I have ever seen. I would never think like this. As soon as I read the title " Banana tattoos" I was like..no fucking way!? This is gonna be SO cool, and sure enough!

This is so much more awesome than making volcanos out of mashed potatoes.

I dunno, making volcanoes out of mashed potato is pretty damn fun.. It depends - if you've got some sort of ketchup/lava thing going on then i'd say it's a clear winner

That's so amazing! Did you make banana bread afterward?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I didn't unfortunately.. it sat on my desk until it started to smell weird and was barely recognisable, but it was interesting watching all the little doodles slowly fading away.. I think banana bread would have been a much better use for it!

hahaha now that seems like a fun lunch time! My only question is, why in the world do you have a scalpel next to you while your eating lunch??? O.o

Wow. This is incredible and so unque. I've never seen anyone do that with a banana before, lol. Lovely work

A little different and it reminds me of when I was little; my dad used to draw super heroes on bananas when i took them in my lunch box to get me to eat fruit...also used to draw funny faces on oranges.

That's amazing...I can't even start to describe how awestruck I am...

I cant remember actually, I dont think I did - I think it sat there and got blacker and blacker until you couldn't see the designs.. a timelapse shot would have looked amazing... Hmm.. maybe i'll do it again and record it!

maybe you should try it with different fruits too...
like maybe a watermelon ? or maybe some vegatables....
would be awesome to see on timelapse!

I bet even mangos could look good if they're done by you (I really hate mangos).

That's crazy talk! Mango's are amazing, I couldn't do them justice

pssstt Of course you could, you're awesome. I checked out a looott of your gallery, I'm pretty OCD about watching someone, and your work is pretty amazing. I liked the sketchbook thing you posted, some of the works made me laugh so hard...there were others in which I had to stare at and reread before I understood them, though, I'm pretty slow..
Oh and the wall thingy for your class made me laugh so hard! Although I do hope none of you guys get Carpel Tunnel O.O that wouldn't be nice at all.
