I had the pleasure of working with the talented design team at Studio Misfits to create sophisticated illustrations for their client, Mash’d’s brand refresh.

The characters I illustrated, lovingly referred to by the Mash’d team as The Bastards, are a whimsical reflection of some of their most popular menu items.

Get to know our lovable family of bastards. A collection of true degenerates that’ll simultaneously leave you scratching your head, slightly offended (maybe?), and begging for more.

Making Of A Bastard: The Bird

The Bird is a dish firmly perched on the Lunch Menu. After being given the ingredients list and a general direction for how the dish should be represented, I was released to create concept sketches.

The Bird : Ingredients

  • crispy chicken

  • avocado ranch

  • lettuce

  • pickles

  • bb (buffalo, wicked hot, sriracha butter)

When compiling a check-in PDF to present to Studio Misfits, I further expressed what each concept was going for by writing a little blurb about its personality.
