Illustration Friday-- Artificial

After the incident with the plastic mushrooms,
Chef Shiitake decided never to use artificial ingredients in his signature soups again.

  1. Oho! That is one amazing mustache, Krista! Although I love the whole piece: veggies, salt, pepper and all, that mustache is definitely the main center piece!! :D :D :D Great work!

  9. This is funny! Lovely piece. It reminds me of the white bean and kale soup I made for a dinner party a couple weeks ago--when one of the guests encountered a snail. I had picked each piece of kale myself, and soaked them all in a big bowl of water, but I guess it was a tenacious snail.

    I love the rich colors in this, and all the great stuff that's going on in it.

I just have to say, your Double illustration of your beloved Samoyeds was awesome!! I really like that loose watercolor feel to it and they capture the sweetness of your pups..I'm happy that they had such happy lives..though lots of destruction, huh?! Wow!
