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.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

Each pair represents one of the 440 women killed in Turkey last year by their partner or husband. How sad that is.

Eric van Straaten's 3D-Printed Statuettes

I can't remember when I first became entranced with Eric van Straaten 's 3D-printed sculptures. I think I stumbled onto his work through tumblr when I was searching for new artists to follow. Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
