Food for thought... 🍯🐝💡A guest post by our superstar art director @ehaidle: I was recently visiting the Kansas City Art Institute, as a guest artist this fall. I ran a special assignment, asking students to illustrate a topic related to food & to pair words with their images in any style of their choosing. I was pleased with their variety of responses—family recipes, history of food, cultural traditions, comic journalism featuring food, and food-related ethical concerns. Some went the scientific route, with food diagrams and food traveling through the digestive tract. (Yuck, but fascinating!) Since the holiday season usually revolves around food with family and friends, the topic of FOOD is on everyone's mind these days. Here are a few of my favorite submissions, with commentary from the artists themselves, about why they chose their subject matter. Featured here, is @holytheft Casper Warren’s investigative journalism piece about where honey comes from. They interviewed a local beekeeper outside of Kansas City to take pictures and find out more about the life of bees and beekeepers. Here’s what Casper had to say, “My interest in honey began with by my agricultural roots. My aunt and uncle are beekeepers. When I moved to the city, I was surprised to learn that some people don't know where food comes from. Migrant workers and small family farms perform the difficult labor that makes our food possible. I love honey in particular because it has beneficial medicinal properties and because beekeeping directly improves the health of the environment. We rely on farmers as much as farmers rely on bees!” Link in profile to longer blog post, featuring more illustrated works by: @crimsonrib @NinaGookin @crowclub @Impossibmax @Lanalaughlinillustration @Hardcoreparker @malachi_makes
Happy Birthday, Madeleine L'Engle & C.S. Lewis!
