Banana Peel Trucker Hat
2012
Art Direction, Sculpting
Just something I made one morning to cheer up my grumpy kids.
  • My kids were grumpy at breakfast one Saturday morning, so I had the idea to make a quick banana peel trucker hat for the banana to wear using the peel of the banana. This cheered them up and made the banana look relatively hip. The BPTH went viral and was featured on The Huffington Post, Boing-Boing, Trendhunter, Laughing Squid and thousands of other social hubs. 

    Buzzfeed liked the trucker hat so much, they made a photo editor so people could place the hat on uploaded photos:
  • The Buzzfeed crew even built a large, foam version of the BPTH and wore it to a Tumblr Media Event. As one would expect, wearing the hat conjures feelings of sadness in hipsters.
  • With bananas, knives and creativity being so plentiful, many made their own version of the BPTH.
