Framed Funny Food Art

Greg Brown prefers to use word play in his framed funny food graphics, such as “Salad Bar” which instead of being a buffet filled with vegetables is actually vegetables sitting around a croutons box and drinking alcohol. Similarly his piece “Club Veg” involves vegetables in and around the kitchen sink, which they are treating as a pool. Another fun word play is in the piece “Bananappeal” in which two bananas are peeling, or undressing, each other.

In his framed funny food cartoons the artist Todd Goldman also plays with words, however, he plays with a lot of common expressions and euphemisms. The artwork “Small Fry” is literally a small serving of French fries, the piece “Miso Hot!” is a bowl of hot miso soup, and the piece “One Tough Cookie” shows an angry cookie, probably because someone has taken a bite out of him. Once food was such a privilege and was treated so seriously, now it is plentiful and treated with fun and hilarity.
