I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana where there was something to celebrate with a cocktail every day. For this poster I thought of my father, a chef in a past life, who ends every day with a gin martini up with a twist. Above the stove in the house I grew up in was a cabinet overflowing with Cook’s Illustrated that he would take down for me and have me pick out desserts that we could make togeather. I combined this happy memory with my current love for Art Deco advertisements that use bright and bold colors, geometric fonts, and a simple illustration.
