Fruitdoodle is proof our parents should have let us play with our food

A Dutch illustrator has become an Instagram star thanks to his creative ways of turning bananas into works of art. Stephan Brusche hadn't expected his work to be such a hit but the positive response has led him to release Fruitdoodles, a book which highlights his drawings on fruits, including kiwis, oranges and apples in addition to bananas.

Stephan, aka @isteef, has also earned more than 34,000 followers on IG. The 37-year-old artist from Rotterdam doesn't sell the bananas, but you can buy the postcards, calendars, and prints featuring his designs.

What do you think of that banana fishbone? Or that Van Gogh fruitdoodle? Or my personal favorite, The Beatles: Banana Road? Stephan is a genius. And we should all play with our food more. Check out more of his work here.

This Outdoor Library is Pure Magic

The Seoul Outdoor Library is an open-air oasis of literature . It serves as a relaxed retreat for office workers during the week and transforms into a family reading haven on the weekends. Instead of walls or the hushed whispers enforced by traditional libraries, visitors find fresh air, colorful beanbags, and the rustle of leaves, creating a unique reading soundtrack. However, the space offers more than just books. Visitors can also catch movies and live performances under the open sky while children enjoy a dedicated play zone. And when the summer sun decides to be a relentless monster? The library just shrugs, says "Challenge accepted," and switches to "night-library" mode. Here, you can relax under soft, ambient lights and enjoy a perfect, cool-breeze read after the city has settled down. I really like this idea. In an open-air setting, you can sip your iced latte, shift around without worrying about squeaky chairs, and if you talk a little too loud, no one giv...

Dissected Realities

Ready to see what happens when street smarts hit the fine art world? Dissected Realities features ten Cebuano artists who started out doing graffiti and street art but are now into painting, collage, and sculpture. Basically, they're reality hackers. They don't just observe the world; they take it apart and put it back together. While they all have their own unique styles, their main goal is the same: to grab the messy, overlooked details of everyday life and rebuild a new reality with their art. The Metro Gallery is a cozy three-story house in Addition Hills, San Juan that's actually an art space. The first two floors are all about showcasing emerging artists. But they're more than that—the dining room is a hangout spot where collectors and artists connect. Here, you can even buy select pieces from private collections. If you're looking for art that's more exciting than typical landscapes and still-lifes, or if you want something to challenge and engage your ...

A Lens on the Wild

The 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners have just been announced . Can you believe they received over 60,000 entries from 113 different countries and territories this year? That's a ton of photos, and it must have been so tough to choose. The images are incredible. They're proof of the photographers' amazing skill and patience, but also a shout-out to how totally awesome the animals and places they capture are. You get everything in these shots: moments of raw power, delicate tenderness, and a tough, honest look at the environmental problems our planet is facing. Once a photo makes it to the shortlist, the real inquisition begins. It must be original; a story we haven't seen before. It needs to make you pause, gasp, or even feel a bit uncomfortable.  London’s Natural History Museum proclaimed Wim van den Heever as the winner, and it took the South African photographer ten years to capture the striking, ghostly portrait of a brown hyena chilling right next to ...
