Celia Brooks tea towel (physical product)

Some context about the project

When Celia Brooks published her ninth cookbook, SuperVeg, she was looking for something tangible to promote her new book while also championing her idea of the 25 healthiest vegetables on the planet.

It's blatantly apparent she knows what she is talking about if you've ever been on one of her food tours around London called Gastrotours.

She used to be the personal chef to Stanley Kubrick, and this tea towel was a perfect piece for her to bring to the Childwickbury Arts Fair. Which is an annual event hosted by Kubrick's wife Christiane at the family estate.

You can see my case study on how I built her website in another post if you're interested in learning more about her business and the work we've done together..

Development & research

For this project I took a leaf out of Nicholas Rougeux's book and I sourced Creative Commons vegetable illustrations, cleaned them up and reworked them into something distinctly my own. I have a deep admiration for his work and dedication to craft. We're definitely kindred spirits, and both from the Midwest USA.

Finding imagery was the hardest part. There are some amazing platforms out there to explore, but not one of them is a complete directory of sources. Maybe some day we'll be so lucky as to have a website dedicated to archiving imagery of the past more fully.
