this artist is toasted

Wanna munch on Munch’s “Scream”?

When isn’t art good for breakfast? Oslo-based artist Ida Skivenes makes all types of food art out using a piece of toast on a kitchen plate as her canvas. The other week, she found herself stuck in front of a computer rather than freestyling in the kitchen, and so she looked up Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, and transformed it into a tasty, carby portrait. She posts these and many other art history-inspired toasts to her Instagram account. Scroll through her feed and you’ll find yourself wanting to eat, rather than look at, works of art by Salvador Dali, Picasso, Edvard Munch, and Frida Kahlo. These are the kinds of art-food that we’d like to see on social media sites, rather than the ubiquitous amateur shots of food porn that are even more prevalent thanks to apps like FoodSpotting and its seamless integration into Facebook last year.

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
