We need your menu inspiration for modern artist

Julie Poulson is looking for inspiration

Inflation is the bain of artist Julie Poulson’s life; pie and coke now costs $4.80.

Nevertheless she is beavering away creating works for her exhibition in Cairns opening on 9 March. Her current work is ” Mango cheeks $14 a box” is taken from roughly painted roadside signs, printed, painted and assembled through stitching.
Her work Hot Dog Fries is hung in the modern Italian restaurant Vivos in
Palm Cove in far north Queensland. She says it’s a nice antithesis to the food served: “It stirs a mixed response from the
public, very healthy I think.”

Now she’s looking for more inspiration, drawn to the Tomato blog by my classic picture “Indian/Italian cuisine mains $7.50″.

Have you got a classic menu or roadside billboard you would like to contribute?

I’ve created a menu billboard Flickr group and posted the results of a stroll through St Kilda with a camera phone. I suspect a few are too well crafted for Julie’s purposes but there are a couple that are well dodgy. Personally, I like “Tonight it’s ladies night $3 wine From 5pm to 10pm yeah!!”.

So wherever you are in the world get out there and upload some shots and you could have your menu photos turned into proper art.

I’ll publish the results next year
