cupcakes


cupcakes, originally uploaded by anongrrl.

back in the days of nervousness.org, when it was more than just a forums, i participated in a lot of mail art swaps. one of my favorites was a cupcake ATC swap i did. i'd never drawn a cupcake before, so it was interesting to do it from my head, without looking at any actual cupcakes.

it's funny. i draw them overstuffed with a rounded top. most people try to bake them with sedate flat tops. it's no surprise that a couple years later, when i baked some cupcakes, they came out precisely this shape. i always over-fill the cups.

i don't know where the red cherry or candy on top came from. i don't even like cherries.

this was also the beginning of a brief love affair with crayola washable markers. i think i was 25 when i made this.
