London, April 26 (ANI): Keisuke Yamada, a Japanese artist excels at carving sculptures out of bananas, only to be eaten once the masterpiece is photographed and posted on the internet.

Yamada, 23, has already made 11 pieces so far, including a dragon and ghoulish skulls.

His unique collection also comprises faces of Elvis and Davey Jones from 'Pirates of The Caribbean', carved with a toothpick and spoon.

The artist, who calls himself a 'perfectionist', takes half an hour to complete the detailed work of fruity art.

'I started making them about two weeks ago and since posting pictures of them online they have really taken off,' the Daily Mail quoted Yamada as saying.

'It began when I peeled a banana and thought it might be interesting to carve a face into the fruit,' he added.

Yamada, an electrician by profession says, 'I'm looking forward to making many more in the future.'
