Just 'N the Raw: Food Is Art- Art Crawl Feb. 2011

Last month, I helped organize Food Is Art, a gallery/party for Art Crawl, with friends Scott Mahoney, Malcolm Guess, Mystique Star, and and awesome crew of friends and artists. The concept was to create a gallery that utilized food as a theme, and introduced the sense of taste as the critique.

Malcolm and I created

delectable raw appetizers and desserts which were tray passed around the party.

Raw Bean and Cheese Burritos

Raw Ice Cream on Coconut Wafers

Cerrah, "The Dutchess" Laykin showcased her Aphrodesia Collection of erotic food photography

Fashion designer Sunny Lopez created veggie-based fashions

worn by our beautiful models Anna Moore and Leilani Galvan.

My buddy Jason Wrobel jumped into the mix, doing live edible painting with fruit roll-up canvases and berry and chocolate paints.

Gregg Fleishman, who has been commissioned to build the temple at Burning Man this year, installed many of his unique, nail-less furniture pieces and structures.

The biggest hit of all was the juice bar, where we created mixed drinks of live juice and vodka! What a concept!

A special thank you to Whole Foods Venice, Ultimate Superfoods, and all of the local farms from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market who donated tons of food to the event.
