Illustration Friday-Twist
This is my entry for IF's "twist" topic. And you get two for the price of one! Click on the images for a bigger view, and appreciate the textural detail! And maybe smell the cinnamon.
I've been very busy lately. For a bit of the summer I'm feeding 200 boyscouts three meals a day for 6 days a week. It's both back breaking and very rewarding. So far I've managed to make homemade cinnamon rolls and other baked goods for each group. So for the topic of twist, I easily saw the cinnamon twisted into the hundreds and hundreds of rolls that I've made so far. Is there anything better than the smell of fresh baked cinnamon rolls?
I even have a blue ribbon for cinnamon rolls from the Minnesota State Fair, the second largest State Fair. A proud accomplishment. How many little old ladies did I beat out, I wonder! I was about 35 when I did that I suppose.
Because of July 4th I've had a few days off. It's been fun to do some illustration.
Thanks to all who stop by. I won't have time to visit many blogs until after August.
Oh, just posted "camoflage" too. So check that out if you like.

one of my favorite things about winter is baking, and few treats smell better than cinnamon rolls!
i love them with fresh butter melted all over them...oh god, i hate july! hurry up, november!
congratulations on your blue ribbon cooking. are you married?
Mmmm--Mm! I love Cinnamon bread/rolls! Excellent way to do "twist" and I'd love to try your state-fair blue ribbon winner buns!
Where's the Mac aroma feature when you need it? Even without it, these smell great, I mean look fabulous! You are a culinary artist as well as a graphic artist! (Can I get your blue ribbon recipe or is it a closely guarded secret?)
and the crowd pleads... REcipe... RECipe! *eyes twinkling*
great illo... (both of em) and commendable work that you do with scouts... bet these don't last long.... (the cinnamon buns!)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... they are wonderful Scott. And the texture, as promised is food for the eyes. The design and the inside view are so well done.
Bless you for your work with the scouts!

I went through all your illustrations. You have the skill and the technique(s), and I am jealous.
You are making me hungry! LOL! It has been too long since I've eaten a cinnamon roll.

I will never forget my times in the Brownies and Girl Scouts it was very meaningful and happy. I love your clever illo and how you tied it into your life. Very cool annd I love your style. Look forward to hearing from you!
Good to see more IF work!
I kept checking back but there was none to see until recently.
Haven't got round to posting many myself as I have work, followed by spending more time thinking about what I'm gonna do than actually doing it.
I very much like both your camoflage and twist illos. Make me want to get arting again.
P.s fancy sending me some cinnamon rolls? My address is.... hehe
Oh! noooo I'm hungry!
I would like a cinnamon roll mmmm!
Really nice illo!
Arrivederci
Cata
Ohh!! And I'm so hungry! Lovely illo!
yummy ;)
You bake a mean illustration! & Yes - you've made us all hungry!
ooh yum, I really miss fresh baked cinnamon rolls since going gluten free:( nice illo!
Fab taste, texture and aroma. I sampled both and am partial to the cinnemon role, but the raisin bread was excellent to. Beautiful,and I want more!
My absolute favorite baked treat! Wonderful job with this prompt! Raisin bread is up there too!!! mmmm ....I need a bun!! haha! Well done!
yummy!
These are awesome! Honestly, I can "smell' the warm cinnamon scent rising off my computer screen. I love cinnamon. There is a spice shop in Chicago which sells 3 or 4 varieties....they were all so uniquely different that I gave them as Christmas gifts last year, and bought some for myself. I used a hefty amount in the brownies I baked for my Independence Day festivities today...I think I ate half the batch myself! Hope you thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed your post!!! -Kate-
Welcome back, Scott! I had seen the 'camouflage' illo a few days back, but didn't have time to leave a comment (wonderful blend of dress and background).
Sounds like you've been very busy. Glad you're putting your culinary artistry to good use. The illustrations look tasty in and of themselves. Take care.
Hey Scott. I like all your experimental stuff going on here. Thanks for stopping by.
I really like your illustrations! I love your take on this. And after reading your commentary, I am really moved ;) Your work is excellent!
very nice!! now i'm hungry for these!
I can smell them, very yummy. I love camoflage too ~ really awesome work, Judy x
And now I'm hungry. Great colors here, and texture too. Amazing you can do that texture digitally - it's almost exactly the same as some of the paper I use. Really nice! I took the book quiz from the next post tho, and it couldn't be more wrong. So wrong, I don't even want to say what book it said I was (the authorities might take interest).
Great illo! You must be very special (and patient) to work with all those boyscouts and feed them 3 times a day for a week! Bless your heart! Really!
Very tempting and swirly! Amaing you can cook for so many people!
Scott, we miss you. But, you have satisfied our appetites for a bit with these delicious morsels! Sweet!!!
yummmm, they look positively delicious!! :D
