Tacos!

Hey look, tacos! These were some spot illustrations (gouache, digital, you know the drill) done for a blog my Illustrating the Edible class designed/drew things for. I went to Taco Fiesta (the top two pictures) and El Taquito Mexicano (bottom two), which were both pretty good. The blog got written up in the Baltimore Sun, too,which was neat (and hey, I'm quoted, neato). I would also like to mention my dear friend Emma Quinn, who accompanied me on these adventures and assisted in reference-photo-taking/Mexican-food-eating/transportation.

In other news, I have returned to my native land (Saint Louis) for the summer, and the whirlwind of unpacking and packing and organizing and all of that has me with very little to post art-wise. Bear with me, I promise the pictures will return someday. Someday soon, even. I also just started interning at Firecracker Press so I will eventually have pictures of what I do there (but right now I am still learning and therefore doing a fairly limited amount of printing. I did help make around 200 buttons the other day, though, which let me tell you, feels like quite an accomplishment).


ps. If you are in Saint Louis, I have been dropping off little stacks of business cards in various locations. They feature this image . I'm making this sound much more like a treasure hunt than it really is, but sometimes these things happen.
