A Japanese artist by the name of Sue has a portfolio of stunning sculptures. The talented artist uses supplies you can pick up at your local grocery store, and that are pretty tasty to eat too.
Using ripe bananas, Sue creates a series of intricate banana sculptures out of toothpicks and small tools with her hands. She takes inspiration from a variety of objects and pop-culture references for the characters in her designs.
In Sue's banana sculpture portfolio, you will find zombies, dragons and even Davey Jones! The only bad thing I can see about these awesome artworks is that after being exposed to open air, the bananas will begin to turn brown and go bad. Luckily, Sue quickly snaps pictures of her work before they become compost.
