Bored in the pandemic, she made art by bruising bananas. Now she has an international following.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/04/21/banana-art-sketch/

Anna Chojnicka was bored as she quarantined last year in her London apartment because of a suspected case of covid-19. She was so bored that she absent-mindedly picked up a banana on her kitchen table and started running her fork along the outside of the peel.

The dark lines that appeared on the peel looked interesting to her, and she watched as the marks gradually got darker. She continued doodling and was soon fascinated. She drew eyes, a nose and a mouth and — satisfied with how it looked — decided to see how far she could go with it.

I can't get photos from her Instagram to post.
