Food Culture & Food Truck

Seeing food trucks in our favourite spots offers a tasty, affordable alternative to our daily routines. Not only do they provide delicious meals, but they also foster a strong sense of community, becoming an integral part of the food culture and building meaningful relationships between vendors and consumers.

One of my clients approached me with a branding design project for her new food truck business. She shared a wonderful story with me about her grandfather, who owned an Opel Blitz built in 1965. She dreamed of renovating it, inspired by her uncle, who suggested transforming it into a food truck. This truck, originally used to transport food, holds many cherished stories from her grandfather's life. Hearing these stories deeply inspired me.

Before she even asked, I created some illustrations to visualize her food truck idea, hoping to inspire and motivate her. It was a small gesture, but one made with great enthusiasm and encouragement.

Another unique aspect of this food truck is its commitment to serving delicious, homemade burgers using recipes passed down from her mom. Additionally, the owner plans to donate 30% of the food truck's net income to uplift the lives of underprivileged communities—an ambitious and inspiring dream. I am grateful to be a part of this journey.

Update: The truck's renovation is now 80% complete, bringing us closer to seeing this dream become a reality.

Vintage food illustration

Andruw recently commissioned another piece from me, this time for a vintage food illustration. This style differs from my usual food illustrations as it involves traditional colouring methods and techniques. I felt the need to experiment with this approach, so I discussed it with Andruw, and he agreed. The result turned out exceptionally well. Finalised Vintage Food Illustration Colour Process Creating this vintage-style artwork was a lot of fun and a great experience. I hope this gives you an idea of how the process went. If you enjoyed it, I’d love to hear your comments.

This is not a food. But you know this.

I illustrated this artwork for a Californian cannabis grower. It was such an interesting package design project for me. I enjoyed it a lot. I studied and researched about the cannabis plant and plant growing stages to make this artwork. I believe I achieved this well.

Food menus are like a canvas!

A food menu does more than display prices. it represents the business's nature and brand value. Unique food requires a unique menu to showcase it to the world. Food menus are like a canvas, and food illustration helps achieve that uniqueness and quality. I received this project from my previous employer, which required enhancing the brand value and showcasing the quality of the food. I developed a design concept and created sketches and illustrations based on this concept, adhering to the client's project timeline. This project was an amazing experience for me as it allowed me to research and study more about food and branding. Finalised Food Menu Line Illustration and Composition Coloured Food Illustration I hope you enjoy this design project and my illustrations. Your feedback keeps me motivated! :)

This is your food illustrator!
