Celebrity Garbage

I wanted to create a body of work to send to Topp Trading Card Company. Topp is the creator of the Garbage Pail Kids, www.garbagepailkids.com. Garbage Pail Kids, aka GPK, are non-sport cards/stickers made by Topps Inc. between 1985 and 1988 in the U.S.A. Since girls had Cabbage Patch Kid Dolls back then, they created GPK for the boys, to make fun of the Cabbage Patch Kid Dolls. They also do a collection called Hollywood Zombies, www.hollywoodzombies.com, poking fun of the pop culture icons in a grotesque manner. My idea was to sort of combine the two. I came up with a play on words that intertwines an item of food with a celebrity. So here's a few of the illustrations from it: Bread Pitt and Angelina Jelly, Elvis Parsley, and Juice Willis.
