# Hilariously Honest Food Illustrations These David Olenick Drawings Depict What Our Food Would Say By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-05-06 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-olenick References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/05/05/david-olenick-art) & [davidolenick](http://davidolenick.com/post/83638096948/discounting-calories-let-the-potato-chips-fall) David Olenick has thought a lot about what our food would tell us if it could be brutally honest. The designer and illustrator has done a series of food related pictures, NSFW language included. The [cute cartoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) hilariously tap into our deepest thoughts (and anxieties) when it comes to some of the things we eat. Whether we are being seduced by [chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-milk-chocolate) or being told to calm down by a cup of tea, the drawings are almost alarmingly accurate. Some of the other featured food items include a double patty cheeseburger, [beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-beer), wine, peanut butter, lollipop, broccoli, coffee and pint of ice cream. Many of the David Olenick pictures are also available on t-shirts or other merchandise, which are available through his website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Brutally Honest Food Illustrations:** Opportunity for food brands to embrace transparency and connect with consumers by showing the true side of their products. - **Exploring Consumer Thoughts and Anxieties:** Opportunity for market research and advertising agencies to develop campaigns that tap into consumers' deepest thoughts and anxieties about food. - **Food Illustration Merchandise:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create merchandise showcasing food illustrations that resonate with consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for the food and beverage industry to embrace transparency and create products that align with consumers' desire for honesty. - **Market Research:** Opportunity for market research agencies to conduct studies on consumer perceptions and anxieties around food. - **Fashion and Design:** Opportunity for fashion and design industries to collaborate with artists and designers to create merchandise featuring food illustrations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Unexpectedly-Amusing Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Comic Strip Milk Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seki-milk.md) - [Honest Mealtime Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guaranteed-to-be-eaten-by-kids.md) - [Lazy Cereal Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-cereal.md) - [Food Appreciation Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-thing-ny-heart.md)
