Banana is not only a healthy and nutritious fruit, but also a very creative work of art. Artist Stephen Brousser borrowed simple tools such as ballpoint pens and knives, and used banana peels as canvases to give different lives to bananas.

From Marilyn Monroe to the Beatles, from plesiosaurs to Dalmatians, ordinary bananas were played with different tricks by Stephen.

And why did Steven think of painting on bananas? He told the story of his "attachment" to bananas on the indy100 website.

“My wife had been pushing me to use Instagram for a while, saying it would be great for promoting my illustrations and comics I’ve been doing in my spare time, besides my work as a graphic designer.”
"My wife has been encouraging me to play Ins. She said it is very helpful to promote my illustrations and cartoons, which I drew in my spare time. My job is to be a graphic designer."

“And just after lunchtime, I wanted to experiment a bit with the app, try out the filters and such. But since I was at the office I didn’t really have anything fun or interesting to photograph.”
"After lunch time, I want to experience this application and try functions such as filters. But because I was in the office, there was nothing interesting to shoot. "

“I then noticed I still had a banana left from lunch and figured it would make a fun picture if I just drew a little happy face on it. Discovering how pleasant it actually is to draw on a banana – there is just something about how smooth the ballpoint pen flows on the structure of the banana peel – I made another ‘fruitdoodle’, as I like to call them, the next day. One with a grumpy face, for balance sake.”
"Then, I found that there was a banana left at lunch. I thought it would be an interesting picture if I drew a smiling face on the banana. I find it very smooth to draw on banana peel with a ballpoint pen. After having fun, the next day, I drew another "fruit graffiti", which I like to call them. In order to neutralize it, the second work is an angry expression. "

This accidental experience made Stephen fall in love with the feeling of painting with bananas, and he has been out of control ever since.

“I just kinda challenged myself to see what else I could come up with to draw on a banana, and I never stopped since. After a while, I also noticed that I was getting more likes and attention for my drawings on bananas than my other stuff. So instead of my other projects, I gradually started to focus more and more on the banana art.”
"I just want to challenge myself to see what else I can create with bananas, and I can’t stop. After a while, I found that my banana graffiti gained more love and attention than other works. Therefore, I gradually began to invest more and more energy in banana art, not other works. "

Now Stephen has compiled his works into a collection and published his first book, Fruit Graffiti. And his next plan is to introduce fruit graffiti to the world.

“Banana art has taken me across the border from Germany to the USA and I would love to get more invitations to do my banana art across the globe.”
"With the banana art, I went to Germany and the United States, and I hope to get more invitations to show my banana art around the world."
