Chill out with yummy ice creams!

An imaginary summer’s eve on Venice Beach meets an Essex seafront promenade. Fizzy drinks and ice cream cones. Parasols and deckchairs. Surfboards and lifebuoys. Stroll into the evening sun.

It’s been a long time since vacations by the sea have been a reality so this pattern is a little escapism for our current times.

This is the hero pattern I created inspired by one of the Make It In Design Summer School 2021 briefs. The theme was Boardwalk.

Some fresh fruit salad, some fresh pressed juice, some fresh tunes and perhaps some good company and you’ve got all you need for a chilled out morning on a hot summer’s day.

This is my first submission to They Draw’s Play Along and it was so much fun to create. My personal favourite thing here is the pink boombox. After drawing it I now want one in my life. Naturally.

This illustration was done in Gouache, using ALL OF THE COLORS! I often escape to my garden or the Colorado wilderness where I obsess over the myriad of blooms, foliage, and pollinators. This was inspired by the blind color palette learn-along. I realize it was intended to select limited color palettes, but hey, I couldn't resist using all of the colors!

One of my favorite things in the summer to chill out is to go to the pool and have some snacks (tapas) by the water, topping it with a cold Tinto de Verano, a mix of Red Wine and Club Soda on Ice. The perfect refreshing combination! Welcome to the Spaniard's Summer Traditions!

I’ve never been as hot as the summers I’ve spent traveling and living in Japan and Asia. But there is just nothing like a mountain of fluffy shaved ice to cool down. The one I always think about, and have never been able to find again, is the almond jelly (annindofu) flavor I enjoyed on a hot and steamy afternoon at Din Tai Fung in Shanghai more than 10 years ago.

Quarantine & social distancing are not that bad, if you know how to make the best of it! It's a perfect time to reset yourself. I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

Refreshing Drink for hot summers with italian colour style:
green: mint leafes - white: lemon ice cream - red: fruits
for playalong: "CHILL OUT" and relax with this drink ...

is a classic italian dessert that means "ice cream drowned in espresso", serve the ice cream and the espresso separate. The actual pouring of the coffe is part of the DRAMA of serving an affogato - the "drowning" of the ice cream :-) .... for - play around: "CHILL OUT"

Back again with not one,but FOUR recipes from my favourite recipe-makers on instagram and youtube (@tabu_tinku_foodies)..i usually illustrate their recipes...but this one was paticularly hard because i wanted those popsicles ASAP!!!!!!

Keep cool with some delicious ice cream treats! I made these treats with acrylic painted papers and a bit of help from Procreate. I love combining traditional and digital techniques.

A yummy banana split boat sailing on to sweeter shores.

My go-to recipe for hot summer days. You can literally use anny veggies and pasta you like. Mix everything together and add some oil, vinegar and spices! You can't get it wrong!

When the heat strikes you strike back with a fresh drink and cool music!
