A favorite from this series of vintage packaging inspired illustrations, this sardine packaging with lettering was the first in the series.
The Brief: Following a monthly Autumn Flavors challenge put together by They Draw, to create a food-themed illustration each day.
Role: illustrator and lettering artist responsible for concept, design, and implementation of all lettering and illustration.
Tools Used: Procreate app, iPad Pro, Apple pencil.
As a fun October 2021 drawing challenge, the website They Draw put together a list of autumn flavors with foods listed as daily drawing prompts to complete and post on Instagram. I decided to participate and illustrated a series of cute food illustrations, complete with puns, one for each day of October 2021. The end result was 31 cute illustrations, all using the same color palette. I then used these with some minor modifications for a 2022 calendar series.

This adorable series of illustrations was also made into two different calendars for 2022. Each month features a different illustration from the series, modified a little to suit the calendar format (different backgrounds and some variations in puns). These are available to purchase from my Etsy shop.
