Chef Kitty is back!

I first found out about this fun blog called They Draw and Cook from Roz (check out her adorable entry here). They invite artists and designers to draw/render a recipe. Since I love drawing food, I had to do this piece. Anyone can participate and submit, so go check it out! Thanks to Nate and Salli for this wonderful idea.

Chef Kitty first appeared when I made some recipe cards. With all her top secret recipes, I'm sure there is a picture book story somewhere. I also forgot how much I love illustrating and designing at the same time. I want to get more of those projects.

On another note, I want to thank Megumi for the sunshine award! Check out her adorable work here.

Samples!

Last friday, I got two big boxes of samples for the Cranium Ultimate Book of Fantastic Fun & Games. I took part in designing this book and also did the illustrations (besides the Cranium characters, done by Gary Baseman.) I worked with awesome people over at LB Kids and Cranium. They gave me so much freedom to do what I wanted, now thats one great design job!

A different style than my typical way of illustrating, but I wanted the style to have linework and work well with the look of the Cranium characters:

This book should be available in the fall. Yay!
