Good 'ol Mom and Apple Pie


This is an illustration for a company called The Grateful Palate an awesome boutique, high end, mail order store that specializes in all kinds of bacon (yummm), plus coffee and a lot more. They also use a really talented graphic designer that puts together the catalogs every year named Beth Elliot. They are more like high end paper samples than any type of catalog I've ever seen! The illustration is going to be used for a special new promotion, but like many of my other projects lately I can't really talk about it right now. Rats. But still go check out the site and if you are a graphic designer request a catalog, you won't be sorry.

There are so many things in that image that are wonderfully, perfectly wrong. I love it. Great stuff Mike. Will there be more in the series? Please?!?

Just search for Nagel brushes on google and you should find some. They work pretty well at not showing a repetativeness (is that a word?) in the strokes.
