Hanisted

Posted on March 13, 2009 Under Art

I came across this piece of goodness by a recently graduated graphic designer named Hanisted out of central Brazil, who took ink to crackers and turned out a topping that’s refreshingly unpackageable. It’s a miracle that pen didn’t perforate them. Besides snacks, he’s had his illustrations printed in a newspaper called O Popular, as well as for the press relations department at his university. It shouldn’t be long before some bigger media outlets tap this enthusiastic artist whose style walks the line between children’s cartoon programming and adult silliness"”something welcome in these times of frowns. The lesson? When creativity bites, forgo the napkin, canvas and even found object: a food item will just as well work. If you know of other artists appropriating unusual canvases, let us know!
