Panera Bread - illustration

In the last few months I've had the great pleasure of working with Panera Bread on some new work. They approached me initially asking if I would do a piece of art for their in-store gallery wall. They were wanting some pieces that spoke to the clean, whole ingredients they use for their food. Fresh fruits, veggies and breads. I happily sent over a few ideas. They liked them, but thought they were too editorial, so they asked me to do more of an abstract work. I loved this feedback (because of the painting work I've been doing on my own) and came up with 2 pieces that they fell in love with. In fact, they liked them so much they decided not to use them on the walls, but instead want to work them into their main branding! It remains to be seen how this will manifest, but I'm excited to share the work in the meantime. It was really fun working with them, and I love how bright and cheerful the pieces turned out.
