Geek Food
Wired (Italy)

This sentence is an introduction. I always find the first sentence of a blog the hardest to write. Not sure why?...moving on. This illustration was for Wired magazine in Italy. I was super excited when I received the email for this project. It has been a dream of mine out of school to illustrate for Wired. The illustration accompanied the article of the top 10 Geek Foods. The AD wanted me to combine the words Geek and Food and see what I could come up with. Huge thanks to Daniela! Here are some roughs:

Potato Chips

Cheese Plate

Hamburger Combo

I had a blast with this assignment. There are so many different kinds of "Geeks" I tried to encompass them all in the last two roughs. The added elements were mainly the ones that resonated with me the most! I'm not gonna name all the references but lets see if you can spot them! (I do wish I could of illustrated the Cheese Star Destroyer a la Spaceballs)

I wish I spoke Italian

Random note: Starcraft 2 is coming out this month!!!
