VITTLES

I started illustrating for Vittles when it first began in 2020; providing illustrations for articles where there is an intersection of food and politics; as well as lighter themes such as fast food culture. In keeping with their ethos I made the focus of my illustrations the people and stories behind our food; specifically the people we don’t often see or celebrate; the factory worker or the child going without a school lunch.
