Christopher D Salyers is a Brooklyn-based writer and AIGA-award winning book designer. He is the author of numerous pop culture books, most notably the Face Food series, which brought the visual creativity of Japanese bento boxes to the rest of the world, and Vending Machines: Coined Consumerism, a visual reference guide to the present and future of vending machines as a global phenomenon.
Christopher D Salyerss first two Face Food books, were the first English-language books dedicated to the Japanese phenomenon of charaben (character bento), which entails parents (usually mothers) converting meals served in bentos, traditional Japanese lunch boxes, into foodstuffs that resemble recognizable characters from anime, manga, movies, and other elements of popular culture. This third and final installment in the series finds Salyers back in Tokyo, collecting more photographs and interviews, but also musing on how the charaben landscape has changed both in Japan and throughout the rest of the world. With plenty of new pop culture inspired lunches, The Face Food Bento Book also features tales from the road and some of the greatest hits from the first two books, making clear that the Face Food books started something no one really expected to happen.
