Homegrown Heroes

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I promise I'm still working on mister dog boy, though probably not as diligently as I should be. Yes I know, bad Ann, bad. Anyway, to tide you over until I post a new update of that project I decided to show you a recent design contest entry I did. Okay, more like I actually remembered I did do something recently that I could share and thus am now showing you now. Like right now. Yeah.

It didn't win because there were like a whole bunch more last minute entries that just blew mine out of the water, but if it had it would have gone on a personal hand towel provided by PeopleTowels. I know crazy name right? Still they are all about helping the planet by reducing waste by selling towels that people just carry around in their pockets/bags instead of using paper towels constantly. The theme was about supporting our local farmers by buying and eating local. I thought it would be cool to do a simple design based off some of the retro-ish, vector superhero posters I've seen. After all, farmers are sort of like heroes too right? They do all the hard work of planting and plowing the food while we enjoy the fruits of their labor. If it weren't for them, we'd be all doing our own farming which I assure you, most of us don't have a clue as to how that all works. Not yours truly of course, but some others of which won't be named. Mostly because I can't think of anyone who wouldn't know how farming works, lol. 

Anyway! Please enjoy!
