I have been doing some illustrations lately for the AWESOME people at Chow Foods, who run 5 Spot, Endolyne Joes and The High Life up in Seattle.  The latest was for an ad in The Stranger.  They are a total dream because they come up with the funnest ideas that are a blast to draw.

And here is the final ad:

Mwwah! Kisses, Chow Foods.
