Cows eat a ton, and produce a lot of waste from their grazing in fields. And then it came to me: what if I had toaster cows grazing in wheat fields, and instead of creating waste, they created toast? I thought that was pretty clever, so I stuck with it and went to Illustrator with my toaster pictures.  If you go to my previous blog post, you can see the three toaster angles I captured for this project. I threw them into Illustrator and traced away with the pen tool. Once those were crisp, I ...
