Large-scale posters by Debbie Carlos // art, inspiration

The other day I stumbled on the food blog by Debbie Carlos. I love her approach to food photography. She embraces the little moments of chaos and rawness of cooking. Her work is honest. I love that. From there I landed on her etsy shop where she sells bond paper posters (say that three times) at affordable prices.

I bought a few tiny original drawings from her. She told me she collaborates on every piece through the name Scuba Art Collective. I just loved those tiny drawings and thought about their work several times over the last few months but had forgotten their name.
