Miscellaneous Links and Notes

  1. Barry "Wildman" Snyder's illustrated fruit label art blog is at www.stickermanproduceart.wordpress.com
    The "Almost World Renowned Food Sticker Mosaic Artist" produces reproductions of familiar works of art by using fruit labels as colours. This is something derived from pointillism, a "painting by dots" method of creating an image used by impressionist painters, especially George Seurat [type seurat into a search engine image search]. Somewhere in my house I have a book which describes a computer method of producing similar images. Several thousand thumbnail images are scanned and an average colour value is calculated for each thumbnail. Then, a much larger picture is scanned and each pixel is replaced by a thumbnail which has a similar or identical colour value. When I find the book I'll post its details here.

  3. Countries in which bananas are grown include the following:
    Belize, Brazil, Cameroun, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatamala, Ivory Coast, Panama, Peru, Surinam, Venezuela
  4. If you have become bored by collecting fruit labels and fruit wrappers then how about collecting elastic bands which are used in the growing and packaging of cauliflowers, broccoli, asparagus and flowers. The cauliflower elastic bands are able to resist ultra-violet rays from the sun for up to 14 days. Many bands are printed with brand names.

    WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF MIAMI!
    In order to make your visit here more enjoyable please do not eat bananas during your stay here in Miami. As the universally recognized symbol of our republic, they are now protected by law.
