Why Bananas?
Brusche isn’t banana-crazy for no reason–the artist has a certain fondness for both the texture of the fruit’s peel and its multi-dimensional capability. “The texture of the peel and the pen is really smooth,” he said. “It has a pretty tough peel, so when I cut it, there is enoug thickness to give it a 3-D effect. And I think the shape of the banana is more original because most fruit is just round.”
