Do Not Eat! is a collection of eating-themed illustrations of monsters both cute and strange created by Andrew Bell, such as this sad sausage and angry Hamburger Helper. The carrot skeleton unfortunately didn't make it to the book on time, but it would've fit in too. See more of Bell's illustrations at Creatures In My Head. [via Notcot]...

I didn't go to last weekend's Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn, New York expecting to eat anything interesting or unusual, but thanks to 1 Bite 7 Days I got the opportunity to taste three dishes that were new to my taste buds. 1 Bite 7 Days is Heather Menicucci's documentary project named after a Japanese proverb that says, "For every new food we eat, we gain seven days of life." After trying one of her complimentary dishes (or three, if you're a glutton like me), participants enter a private booth where they can talk about what they would do with their extra seven (to twenty-one) days, with their responses being recorded on camera to be compiled into the final...

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor in the museum overnight? Italian artist Maurizio Savini's incredible gum-coated sculptures are an impressive testament to bubblegum's resilience and visual appeal. The exhibit's website seems quite enamored with it, gushing, "The sensual act of chewing, the voluptuous warmth of rebelling saliva, the artificial and secretly aseptic fragrance which spreads from the mouth as a promise and missed kiss." I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's pretty cool. More neat food-related art features sushi, pizza cutters, and more.

If you visit Leeuwarden, Netherlands within the next six months, you might get to sit on one of the giant yolks of Dutch artist Henk Hofstra's art installation, "Art Eggcident." Unfortunately, there are no giant strips of bacon or slices of toast to go with it.

"Once a dusty formality that lived on in the form of radish roses in out-of-the-way hotels, food art, as it is known, is enjoying a new vogue." The New York Times gives us an inside look at the competitive world of fruit and vegetable carving. Some chefs take up produce carving to battle boredom or to impress customers, while top carvers can earn thousands of dollars creating elaborate biodegradable centerpieces for their clients.
