Cute Kitchen Art

Food in our house is always a group effort. With two toddlers underfoot making anything more complicated than a sandwich involves two people. I've been teaching my oldest to help out too. His favorite job is peeling garlic! It's the perfect mommy helping job for an almost 3 year old. As easy as it would be to cook in peace and quiet, I'm really beginning to enjoy our family cooking time. I did this little drawing with those thoughts in my head.

I Love Cake

 

It's true. I do love cake but I also love my son and learning new things. I thought this picture of Wes was adorable so I popped it into Photoshop, brightened the colors and added text. I just couldn't find the typeface I pictured in my mind. I normally stay away from hand lettering because of my terrible penmanship but I live in a create-everyday-try-new-things world now so I gave it a shot. I created a new calligraphic pen in Illustrator and drew the letters on the angle I wanted. I think it turned out nice but I have a lot more to learn.
