Last weekend I packed my bags and hopped on a plane to Carlsbad, California for a gathering of fellow illustrators. It was an incredibly inspiring weekend with some amazing artists, and from looking at old sketches and learning new techniques to demonstrating our processes and talking about the pros and cons of an agent, we covered the gamut of illustration topics. I think we spent the majority of the time either lounging by the fireplace with various beverages and snacks or hanging out on the beach (It’s a hard life, I know.) But in addition to illustration, another main theme of the weekend was food. Delicious food. There seemed to always be something cooking in the kitchen, whether it be popovers, pumpkin pie, perfectly seared steak, German pancakes, delicious salads, or something that I have decided can only be called the “heavenly fluffy Italian cheesy dish.”
To commemorate all the deliciousness that happened last weekend, I present to you with no further ado, the enthusiastic chef:
Reminds me of Tintin….
By golly, you’re right… he *does* look like Tintin!
