]]>Lauren Martin is an illustrator from New York, who spent years trying to carve out her distinctive artistic style. She studied fine arts after high school, but struggled to find herself in this sort of artistic expression until she started making artwork for her band Frankie Cosmos – and something finally clicked!
“I think my current style is most similar to how I drew as a kid… It wasn’t until I started designing and screen-printing merch for my band that I started to channel some of that childhood artistic energy. My work became a lot more playful, and I think it’s continuing to get looser and weirder with time,” she told Print Magazine.
After taking a hiatus from music during the pandemic, Martin dived back into the world of illustration and made a name for herself with her feel-good art. Her signature anthropomorphic characters usually take the shape of food, and she wants her illustrations to capture the humor and joy that can be found in day-to-day life.

]]>Robin got the inspiration for the illustration after reading a tweet by Twitter user Stacie Rosenzweig that featured an intriguing question.
“Is a Beef Wellington a fancy Hot Pocket, or is a Hot Pocket a downscale Beef Wellington?” wondered Rosenzweig.
Robin decided to solve the dilemma once and for all by illustrating the entire Wellington Family. She made cool illustrations for each dish and then added a funny description.
It started with Beef Wellington, which was presented as the grandfather of the family and described as refined and nuanced.
Hot Pocket is the “hipster of the Wellington family,” according to Robin. This popular snack “loves new tech” and is “often seen to be ‘mixing things up’ with cheese.”
Next is Pigs in a Blanket, which are your cool uncle or aunt, who “typically shows up for parties and holidays, but otherwise keeps to themselves.” The Corn Dog, on the other hand, is considered the “black sheep” of the Wellington family.
Finally, Pop Tarts are the vegetarians of the family. They are “frequently in a hurry most mornings” and sometimes “too busy to be warmed up.”
Robin’s illustration is so on point that it should be a definitive family tree of the dough-wrapped food. What do you think?
