Hello and thanks for being here!

It's my first newsletter, baybee! I feel like I need a scrolling marquee in here somewhere and maybe a drop shadow?

There. That’s better.

Food illustrations from a client project I worked on last year.

What’s inside?

In this newsletter, you’ll find:

A fake client brief I made to get my - and optionally your - creative juices flowing.
New painting for sale, newsletter subscribers get first dibs!
My most recent licensable art (scroll way on down if that’s all you care about).

Fake client brief creative warm-up

I made a fake client brief and moodboard for myself. Would you like to work on it with me? Here it is, for you to interpret and adapt however you please.

Theme:

Summer Picnic

Product application:

Summer entertaining items: Paper plates, napkins, tablecloths, picnic blankets, cups.

Deliverables:

At least 2 patterns and 2 spot illustrations, one with a monogram and one with a phrase.

Inspiration:

For *inspiration*, not replication! Unlike a real client, I won’t provide images in a “moodboard” and then ask you to copy them :)

Credits, left to right: 1) Picnic in the Park photo from 1956, photographer unknown 2) A Terrace in Grasse by Pierre Bonnard 3) Dolores Park in San Francisco, 1964 4) Birthday Cake by Grandma Moses 5) “Summer Picnic” by Barbara Mock 6) A la Campagne by Ludovic Alleaume, 1910 7) Table Set in a Garden by Pierre Bonnard, c. 1908 8) “Picnic 5” by Pablo Picasso

Colors (optional):
