Hey!

So I'm doing an illustration project for a friend that involves basically, international candies (if I don't change the idea at the last minute like I usually do).

I already know some of the hallmark chinese, japanese, american, and russian/ukrainian candies, but I'm completely lacking in knowledge of candy popular anywhere else. (I have a vague notion that tamarind candy is perhaps popular in mexico and violet crumble in australia...but that's about it)

What's popular there (that isn't really popular here in the U.S.)?

Thanks!! Anything helps =)

I promise to post the illustration when I'm done with it!

I used to visit my cousins in Mexico, and I remember they were addicted to Lucas. It's really disgusting.

tamarind is popular in LOTS of semi-tropical and tropical countries! I ate tons of it in the Philippines and a lot of the candy came from Thailand, too.

Yay so I finished it and here it is...



(How typical of me, she asks for a nice simple design and I give her the most complex thing ever. She and her minority recruitment office likes it though, and ironed-on the thing on shirts and put it on posters)

Aw thanks! It's a pretty rough style, since I pulled an allnighter to do this from start to finish, as well as doing a few other things (papers, problem sets, etc etc...)

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.

My designs

All about me
I adore sea hares. I love windy days, sunflowers, and ketchup. I have trouble writing bios about myself.

In short, a total weirdo.

That's really about it.
