Blueberries

There is something intoxicating about the smell of blueberries.  Does that have something to do with it being a super, healthy food?

In 2009 I created a food illustration for every letter in the alphabet...but spread them out over the whole year.  Over the next few days I'll pull them all together for another looksie. Let's start with the first three.

Blueberry Cupcakes

There are many fabulous food colors, but this is the most striking I've ever seen. I often exaggerate my drawings to make them more interesting, but I would have never imagined going this blue with anything.

I highly encourage you to take a peak at the real thing here.
