There's a great site called They Draw and Cook, that has recipes as illustrated by a variety of different artists. Anyone is free to submit at any time, but this month has an added bonus – if you submit before November 30th, you're entered into a Food Network blog contest.
I've been meaning to submit something anyway, but art contests motivate me and finally made me come up with something. I was stuck for an idea (my wife is the chef – and an incredible one, I might add – of the family, so recipes didn't come easily to my mind) until I thought of a fish wielding a scallion like a samurai sword. Thus Ginger Scallion Fish was born, ready to take on Ninja chefs.
This is the left half – all their entries may be put in book form, so I decided to make a left and right page (also easier to scan in that way). The right page will have the recipe, along with some more illustration.
i hope this gets picked because it's pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Unfortunately, it didn't make it to the holiday contest, but I explain that in the next post. But at least they liked it.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great illo! Sorry it didn't qualify, but will it still be up on their site at some point?
ReplyDeleteThis is wicked cute! I love the scallion wielding samurai! Great gesture and composition!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm glad people like the little guy. I was wanting to do a story with him in it, so this is encouraging. But, being an illustrator, I always come up with the drawings first, so you'll be seeing more of him.
ReplyDeleteNiiiiceeee!!! i personally wish this will win! i love how you portray a story behind the recipe XD
ReplyDeleteVery very awesome!!! Too bad you didnt get the "brief" lol..maybe next time!
ReplyDeleteI really do like it!
