Hello all!

So, fun news— I got to create the drink recipe illustrations for a novel! Along with some smaller drawings in the book. The novel, “Mosquito II” by author Marita Woywod Crandle is a sequel to her first “Mosquito: Southern Vampires” novel, which features food recipes from both her restaurants The Vampire Cafe and The Boutique du Vampyre’s Apothecary in New Orleans.
This is the first time I have done artwork for a book, and I am beyond excited and ready for the next project we have lined up.

If you like stories about vampires, witches and the “Big Easy,” head on over www.feelthebite.com and look for Mosquito II! My work has joined the wonderful block prints of artist James Mennitt, who designed the covers and has his own work throughout each chapter.

Thank you for your support and I hope you go check them out and try out a few recipes yourself! The food is delicious and the potions, elixirs and spells are grand!

Thank you all so much,
Taylor Chartrand, Artist

P.S. The recipes in the sequel feature both cocktails and mocktails if you are sober, under-age, or just don’t want alcohol.
