Artist Turns Bananas And Other Fruit Into Tasty Works Of Art

Bananas don't have a very long shelf life, so using them in an art project seems like a bad idea unless the project has something to do with how quickly a banana will turn into a brown sack of mush.

But graphic designer Stephan Brusche thinks bananas make a great art medium so he doodles on them, and sometimes he cuts the peel to enhance the ink drawing in some way.

Stephan snaps a pic of each piece while the ink is wet and cuts are fresh, so he doesn't have to worry about the inevitable browning ruining an otherwise a-peeling artwork.   

Although he's best known for his banana art Stephan is really just a fruit art fan at heart, and this year his gift to us all is this little pear-headed Santa Claus!
