Original artwork description:

This new canvas painting shows a box of the classic breakfast cereal Frosties based on the original design that was used in the 1950's. Frosties are simply sugar coated corn flakes, and like most children with a sweet tooth, I loved this breakfast treat when I was younger.

As you can see, back then the cereal was still called Frosted Flakes rather than the name we know them by today, however the iconic mascot Tony the Tiger was already in place. I love and am very inspired by vintage food packaging and graphic design, and this is the second time I've painted a beloved childhood cereal on canvas in my pop art style. The idea is that the shape of the canvas mimics the shape of the box, creating a complete art object, as well as being a painting of it.

The end result is a canvas that would brighten up any room in the house, but would probably look best in a kitchen. There's a picture of me stood holding the painting to give you an idea of the size next to a person.

Size -
28 x 35 cm (1.5 cm thick)
11.2 x 13.7 inches (0.5 inch thick)

Painting is signed and dated on the back frame as pictured.

My style of painting and illustration is heavily influenced by classic pop art like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, modern day graphic design, kitsch, and everything from cartoons, animation, and food packaging.

Acrylic Paint, Paintbrush, Posca Pens
