I recorded and produced the video for my Multimedia Design class. Thanks to my Interactivity for the Web class I created a web page to incorporate the video with an illustration. The video length, 1:30 minutes. You’re welcome to print a copy in case you’re hungry. Or simply share this post with someone.
My recipe illustration for They Draw and Cook accepted today. I photographed the process of making the conserve with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. Thanks Salli and Nate!
With the blessing of the website and cookbook “They Draw and Cook” I create an animation for Gust’s Scrambled Eggs (it’s the link). Enjoy!
This recipe will appear in the upcoming cookbook by the blog, They Draw and Cook. Thrilled and thankful to be part of such great endeavor.

In honor of my late dad’s birthday I created this illustration of the last meal I made for him. He dictated the instructions from the kitchen table while I sweated over a hot stove (just a little hyperbole for effect). Click on the illustration to see it. It’s posted on the TheyDrawAndCook blog too (Thanks Nate and Salli!).
A stack of cupcakes for a birthday design. I created it including the lettering with a ruling pen on toothy paper. I got an assist from computer magic. I like to share. Mmm, tasty!
I created this logo for JAM Gourmet, a caterer in Malibu. She’s an amazing chef and caterer. She’s about to become the “best mom.” On her brand new website you’ll find recipes and ideas, www[dot]jamgourmet[dot]com.

It’s Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial beginning of summer. Time to pull out the grill and toss a couple of steaks over glowing charcoal. I created these tiny T-bones and plastic flatware with a ruling pen. The tablecloth background is a series of gouche washes. The pattern was created with computer magic. I think the male in your house might wear an apron with this pattern. At the very least he’ll use the oven mitt.

Nate and Salli from Studio SSS invited friends, artists, illustrators and designers to submit a favorite recipe for Nate’s blog, They Draw and Cook. I did. North African Lettuce Chicken connotes complicated. Ha! It’s too easy. Since I received this recipe some years ago from my subscription to The Splendid Table newsletter my partner and I make it a regular weeknight menu item. The design was a compilation of my ruling pen drawings and lettering, and computer magic. Click on it for a larger view.

A ruling pen and toothy watercolor paper gave the line work energy. The color gave it life. The drawings are available so please don’t hesitate to contact me. They would look so cute on a roll of wrapping paper or wall paper.
