New Illustration for Illustration Friday by Esther Loopstra

It's been a while since I've created anything fun for myself, and especially in Photoshop (I've been using Illustrator a lot).  Illustration Friday is a weekly online illustration contest and blog. It's a great way to keep up your practice and to do something that inspires you.  So here it is.  The word for this week is "sizzle".

Strange Creatures - New Illustrations by Esther Loopstra

I was a strange kid.  Obsessed with certain animals, the stranger the better.  I loved llamas, angler fish, anteaters. My favorite cartoon character was the anteater on the Pink Panther.  So, here is a little project that I've been working on that may appeal to those of you out there who are a little, um....unique.

Food Illustration by Esther Loopstra

A while ago I created these illustrations for an overseas sandwich company.  They wanted illustrations that depicted a few ingredients from each sandwich to be placed on the packaging. I love illustrating food so much, it's fun to find creative ways to show the deliciousness of unique food!  It helps that I'm a total foodie and I am always looking for new recipes and combinations of ingredients to fulfill my need for diversity. 

The first illustration is a sandwich with brie, green onions, egg and spicy dressing.

The second is ham, butter, edam cheese and pickles. 

Ok., I'm a vegetarian so the second I would take sans-ham, but still!
