Crumbs Poster

Back in high school I chose food to be the subject for my AP art portfolio. I did many paintings and drawings of foods from Brazil and it was one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. A few years ago I purchased a couple of prints from a RISD alum. who specialized in paintings of every day foods such as JIF peanut butter and Wonder Bread and whose work reminded me of my own. They now hang in my kitchen and I absolutely love them. Given that I now work at Crumbs I started thinking that a painting glorifying one of their cupcakes could make for a nice poster. I used the paintings in my kitchen as inspiration, and of course the famous Crumbs cupcakes.
