Flickr Find: Brisbane Bombardment!
So no sooner had I sat down to post an update with may latest Christmas creation when an email came in from Australia:
So not to be outdone by my fellow Brisbane pizza makers, I whipped up another Happy Happy Pizza tonight.
Homemade base; tomato paste (store bought); mushroom and bacon hair; salami eyes, eyebrows, ears and mouth; olive eye and mouth detail. And cheese, of course.
The message was from none other than
David de Groot who, as you may recall, was
the artist behind the famous
fungus face who earned a not-too-shabby 8/10.
I nearly dropped my slice of pizza in excitement and quickly clicked the link to see what David came up with and as you can see by
the photos above he managed to design a handsome yet tasty-looking face with a bit of extra character.
Notice how despite the fact
that the cheese is well-browned and the facial features totally shifted during baking that the
face retains it's overall character and expression. All of that
plus a homemade base earns "Handsome & Tasty"
a much-coveted
10/10!!! Congratulations!
I've been asked a lot of weird questions about this site. Generally people either "get it" or they don't. David definitely does, as you can tell
from his description on flickr:
So I made pizzas for dinner tonight and just couldn't not make a happy happy pizza.
See?
That's what it's all about. A bit of fun, a bit of art, and some tasty results!
