The post Anna Chojnicka Creates Art By Bruising Banana Peels appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Anna Chojnicka is a talented artist who uses bananas’ bruising ability to create elaborate artwork. This includes detailed depictions of celebrities, a recreation of classical paintings, and more.
According to Chojnicka, her creative process starts by lightly pressing the banana peel with a blunt object to create a sketch of the image. She then works the lines in a timely fashion in order to control the bruising and get the shading right.
“By managing the timing, it’s possible to make intricate images with graduating shades,” Chojnicka explains on her website. “There’s a short window of time when the image looks its best; I photograph the banana and then eat it.”
Chojnicka started her banana bruising practice during the pandemic. She posted a few banana artworks on social media, and the reactions were overwhelmingly positive. This prompted her to create a new piece of art every day and share it with her Instagram followers. Check out more of them below.

]]>Recently, Guichon presented a new mouthwatering creation that once again took social media by storm. He created giant chocolate matches with an accompanying matchbox that is, you’ve guessed it, also made out of chocolate.
In a viral clip shared on TikTok, which received close to 7 million views in less than a week, Guichon is seen creating matchsticks out of caramelized white chocolate before smoking them with oak wood. Then, the pastry chef makes matchstick heads out of “two crunchy vanilla sable cups, a milk chocolate caramel ganache, and a milk chocolate spread” before coating them with caramelized vanilla marshmallow and a thin layer of red-colored chocolate.
Next, he proceeds to build an incredibly realistic matchbox out of chocolate that is 100% edible. When everything is put together, it looks simply fantastic.

]]>Feeleenger has one of the most intriguing painting techniques we have seen in a long time. The self-taught artist attaches a painting brush to each of his fingers and gets to work. It is essentially an advanced version of finger painting.
According to Feeleenger, he decided to switch up his technique after getting tired of constantly changing brushes while painting. He first tried with three brushes on his right hand, and after getting used to it, he began adding more until all of his fingers had brushes attached to them.
As it turns out, this technique not only helps Feeleenger paint faster but also helps his creative process.
“At first, I attached three brushes to the fingers on my right hand and tried to paint like this,” Serge shared in a recent interview. “I was like, ‘wow, that’s cool and very convenient.’ The colors mingle together right away. Then I attached the brushes to my left hand. In the end, I had 10 brushes. I made very comfortable finger stalls. so I could change the brushes.”

]]>The beauty of Banksy’s new mural, which popped up over the weekend, is in the way it interacts with its surroundings. It was painted on a building wall behind a pruned tree, with the splashes of green paint essentially replacing the cut foliage.
The confirmation that the mural was indeed created by Banksy came from the artist himself. He shared a post on Instagram that shows photos of the wall before it was painted and photos of the finished artwork.
BBC reached out to the building owner Alex Georgiou, who said that the building is currently vacant and available for rent. He intends to keep the mural, Banksy’s first confirmed new piece in 2024, on the wall for people to enjoy.
“The question is, what do I do with it now? What am I meant to do with it now? I definitely plan on keeping it on there and letting people enjoy it, everyone’s loving it which is great, I just can’t really believe it, still, to be honest,” Georgiou told BBC.

]]>Bernth recently decided to craft a full-functioning guitar using LEGO bricks and use it to play his new song “Memories”. He documented the process in a video shared on YouTube, and it is a must-watch.
To build his LEGO guitar, Bernth sketched an outline on a Lego baseplate and proceeded to construct the guitar body using plastic bricks. He then attached a bridge and guitar neck before placing nylon strings.
Upon finishing the guitar, Bernth sits down in his studio and performs “Memories” on it. As expected, the sound of the guitar is unique but quite captivating.
In the text comments placed in the video, Bernth explains that the guitar sounds like nothing he has ever heard while giving him a “warm feeling of nostalgia mixed with childhood memories.” As it turns out, he played with the same LEGO bricks when he was a child.
“Sometimes, we can all build something new with what we thought we lost in the past. So let’s never forget where we came from,” he adds.

Most of them took inspiration from the period’s architecture in a unique way, and it’s no difference with their designs for iPhone cases.
Some designs have a Renaissance building carved on the back, while others feature sculptures you would see on squares or inside churches and mansions.
The artist also made an intriguing variation of the series that saw them add LED candles to the cases in order to further highlight certain elements of the case.
“We believe that art is meant to be experienced in every aspect of life, and with these Renaissance iPhone cases, you can carry a true work of art with you wherever you go. It’s not just a phone case; it’s a gateway to the past, a testament to the power of artistic expression,” the artist shares about the project.

]]>Thanks to its fame, the cheese wheel race featured participants from all over the world in recent years. This is why it isn’t surprising to hear that Canadian Delaney Irving won the 2023 edition of the event. However, the way she did it is really something.
The 19-year-old Irving managed to get the cheese wheel despite being knocked unconscious during the race.
In a later interview with the Canadian outlet CBC, Irving explained that she was on a backpacking trip through the UK and decided to take part in the famed event. When the race started, she stumbled and ended up landing hard on the ground, which made her unconscious.
However, the momentum was enough to get her over the finishing line first.
“I wasn’t really sure what was going on, but I found the block of cheese was on my lap, so that’s how I knew I won,” she shared.
Irving added that she will return in 2024 but doesn’t want to compete again. Instead, she will just watch.

“Everyone was panicking. I couldn’t let that dog down and not help, so I put my jumper down and sprung into action – climbing down first,” Camphor added.
