Amusing Illustrations That Are Completed With the Addition of Strategically Placed Food

Italian artist, author and Fantasy Researcher Diego Cusano has created a series of pencil illustrations that use all sorts of food to complete the picture. In doing so, Cusano has mastered how to strategically place the edibles in a way that compliments, rather than interrupts the flow of the image, for example, using bananas to make a parachute, an avocado as a green eye, a tomato as a the body of an insect, the manic flapping of a hummingbird’s wings recreated with dried pea pods, a popsicle for King Kong to climb and a ram’s horns made of shrimp, shows the humor and the beauty within everyday items. Prints of these illustrations are available through his Etsy site where Cusano explained his approach.
