Other Than Eating Them,

or watching slapstick humour,

where people slip over on discarded skins, I have never given much more thought about bananas as a medium for artist, but End Cape, is a young Japanese artist who specialises in bruising bananas, making pictures on the skin of them, using a sharp tool like a simple needle or a thumbtack, he spends up to five hours puncturing the peel of the tropical fruit,

creating pictures inspired by popular anime, traditional Japanese art and famous landmarks,

the process is very similar to that used by regular tattoo artists, only without the paint, in contact with air the bruised sections of the banana turn brown revealing artist’s designs, apparently the colder the fruit is the faster it oxidises, by controlling the density of needle holes End Cape is able to create different textures and shades of brown, I wonder what will be the next medium that a artist will use that is so novel as this one?
