  • When your food+packaging prompt is "soup can," what else are you gonna draw?? 👩‍🎨 And I always wonder, if I had the chance to own just one of Warhol's 32 soup cans, which one would I pick? ❓ I really love Pepper Pot and also Scotch Broth (a hearty soup), but Vegetarian Vegetable was one of my favorites growing up. 🥕 What would you choose? (Link in bio to the full set, which is now thankfully in MoMA's collection and can't be sold piece by piece.) . . . . #warhol #soupcan #andywarhol #campbellssoup #pepperpot #artnerd #popartist #procreateart #makingarteveryday
  • This week's #makingarteveryday theme was "food + packaging" and i might have gone a little overboard with a few of the prompts. 🤷‍♀️ This one's appropriate for Saturday morning- does anyone other than the Barber sisters remember the weird Jimmy Durante-ish Crispy Critters jingle? Ah-cha-cha-cha! 🥣 . . . . #crispycritters #grapenuts #product19 #shreddedwheat #kidsofthe80s #saturdaymorningcereal #procreatedrawing #procreateart #illustratorsofinstagram
  • It makes no sense and yet it makes absolutely perfect sense. 🥃 . . . . #babyyoda #babyyodaislife #whiskeyglass #thingsthatmakemehappy #thisistheway #whiskeydrinker #notatoy
  • At long last! My story about one of the best meals I had on Route 66 - at The FourWay in Cuba, Missouri - is now live on goodfoodstories.com. Link in bio, and oh, how I wish I was eating that gyro right now instead of eating recipe testing leftovers. . . . . #fourway66 #fourway #cubamo #route66 #route66restaurant #roadfood #roadeats #dcbroute66 #softcheddar
  • This past week's #makingarteveryday theme was "desserts," so I have a lot of favorite sketches - but by Sunday, I had to do something other than draw a regular plate of food. 🍰 Bonus points to anyone who can remember the name of Strawberry Shortcake's cat! No Googling! . . . . #dessertsofinstagram #procreatedrawing #procreateart #strawberryshortcake #popsicle #smore #nostalgicfood #illustrationartist #fooddrawing

  • A day of freezing rain crystalized much of the neighborhood. 🥶 🌧️ 😱 #freezingrain #winterweather #icicles #icestorm #nj #newjerseyweather #northjersey
  • It's Friday the 13th of December, and nothing could be more seasonally spooktacular than Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland! 🎅💀 It was totally a bucket list moment to see my favorite Disney ride completely transformed into one of my all-time favorite movies... 🎃 ...and maybe I had a slight nervous breakdown when they shut the ride down temporarily for mechanical issues while we were NEXT IN LINE for the Doom Buggies, but the ghost hosts pulled through in the end. 👻🎄 Happy haunts indeed! -CB . . . . . #hauntedmansion #hauntedmansionholiday #nightmarebeforechristmas #jackskellington #disneylandcalifornia #disneylandholidays #disneychristmas #hauntedmansion50thanniversary #999happyhaunts
