# Imaginative Food Comics This Series of Illustrations Shows Food Items Leading Ordinary Lives By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-08-27 | Updated 2015-09-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-comics References: [designfaves](http://www.designfaves.com/2015/08/hilarious-series-shows-foods-trying-to-lead-ordinary-lives) & [flyingmouse365](http://flyingmouse365.com/) T-shirt designer Chow Hon Lam has come up with this hilarious series of food comics that illustrate items of food trying to lead everyday lives. In one of the food comics, a potato gets his peel shaved off to have a fashionable mohawk and beard. In another, an egg lies in a hammock to fry in the sun. Donuts run from a hungry mouth and a piece of toast uses peanut butter as sunscreen. The imaginative little scenarios show us what our food could be doing if we weren't eating it. These food comics are just one of Chow Hon Lam's various collections of funny, sweet and uniquely odd illustrations. The designer's Instagram page, where he displays the drawings, leads traffic back to his website, where his line of imaginatively decorated apparel is advertised. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food Comics:** Creating illustrated narratives featuring food items living ordinary lives. - **Personalized Apparel:** Designing imaginatively decorated apparel inspired by humorous and unique illustrations. - **Visual Storytelling:** Using illustrations to tell imaginative and humorous narratives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Incorporating food-themed illustrations into creative design projects, such as advertising campaigns or merchandise. - **Fashion:** Exploring the potential market for imaginative and unique apparel designs featuring food-themed illustrations. - **Entertainment:** Integrating food comics and visual storytelling into animated series, webisodes, or short films. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sun-Kissed Character Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/character-bread.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Unconventional Foodie Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-magazine.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) - [Crinkle Fry-Inspired Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fries-clips.md) - [Quirky Plant-Based Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-food.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Comical Love-Inspired Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-loveinspired-ads.md)
