Original Kitchen Illustrations — the Funny Cooking Blog Art of TumbleBump

The original digital kitchen illustrations behind TumbleBump live here. Bacteria throwing parties in the sponge. Pots boiling over with complete confidence. Pizza making its own decisions at 425 degrees. These are funny cooking blog illustrations created post by post for a kitchen confidence site that takes the science of cooking seriously and everything else with a grain of salt. Original food blog art, humorous kitchen illustrations, and a visual voice that belongs entirely to Jenny Newcook’s world.
