Foodie Friends
This is an ongoing personal project of illustrated characters I like to call “Foodie Friends.” It started in 2022 when I wanted to design a letterpress paper Christmas ornament for my Etsy shop, and since I couldn’t choose just one food, I illustrated 20 and had my Instagram followers vote on which one would be the winner. It was a close call, but out of the first 20 contestants, Mr. Strawberry was voted the Ultimate Foodie Friends Champion!
Ever since, I’ve been adding to my collection of foodie friends, and now I sell them all as stickers in my Etsy shop. I love these little guys; they’re my best sellers!
WINNER: Mr. Strawberry
