Healthy and Delicious Cupcakes

     This week's art features a healthy spin on cupcakes...plus a festive sangria. Recently at Whole Foods Market I took a moment to  sketch some of the delectable looking pastries on show. The decorative icing and candy makes the baked goods so attractive. Why not do the same using fruit instead? Perfect for vegans and other health inclined people. In the end, I love how the fruit came out, looking colorful and delicious. I may even try making these with real fruit! 

     Recently I printed postcards with images of the cupcakes. Email me your address to adar@adar-illustration.com and I'll be happy to send you one!

Have a healthy and delicious week,

Organic Food, Mechanical Tech

     Here are two food spot illustrations I recently designed. The concept is making food the focal point with hand painting and reducing an appliance to stylized graphic lines. This expresses the organic nature of food versus the mechanical nature of technology.

     A piece of news I'm happy to share is moving my website to Squarespace. It also has a new url: Adar-illustration.com

     One of the writers from the Writers and Illustrators of the Future workshop I attended, Jonathan Ficke, is currently writing a series of posts about each piece of art from the contest this year. Check out his blog, jonficke.com

Cornucopia of Produce

     This cornucopia of produce is inspired by the wonderful pattern illustrations of Bannarot. Currently we take classes together at Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He is a Thai illustrator who loves to draw the places he travels as well as pugs! You can check out his work at Bannarot.com or on Instagram @Bannarot.  

     Cornucopia is a 6x8" drawing using fine artist paper, pens, markers and colored pencil.
