Drawing on a piece of paper or painting a masterpiece on canvas is easy. Even Picasso could do it. For a real challenge you should try drawing on three-dimensional objects like fruits and vegetables. Artwork on perishable items requires compensation for curves, angles and in this case mold.

It's important to see the world as your canvas. If inspiration strikes, you have to be able to sketch out the idea on anything. Even if your only options are eggs. Space may be limited, but at least you're not stuck at an amusement park drawing people's names on a grain of rice.

You may think to yourself, "How is this different from being a tattoo artist?" Well, first of all, a tattoo artist doesn't peel his works of art and eat them. Secondly, tattoo ink is embedded in the skin, and finally, fruits and vegetables don't spill their life story to you while you try to make their bicep look pretty. So get to the grocery store, find a marker, and get to work.
