Bon Appetit, 2020, ink on cardstock, 2.5 x 3.5 inches
The main topics of my work are my life, my process, and humor. Bon Appetit, the collaborative project between myself and Mikal Dewar, is a deck of cards with different comedic food items on each card. This project was a very exciting challenge to see if I could participate in a collaborative project successfully, and to work on my letterpress abilities. When it comes to color choices, we wanted it to still be recognizable as a traditional set of playing cards. Personally, I was hugely focused on the process and the gratification of making a functional deck of cards.
