Art for Chef Keller Wins Society of Illustrators Award

ByGary Taxali January 25, 2016January 25, 2016

A short while ago, I was commissioned to create artwork for the amazing Chef Thomas Keller, who runs the famous 3 Michelin star restaurant The French Laundry in the Napa Valley. Anthony Bourdain called his restaurant, “the best restaurant in the world…period.” The artwork was created for Chef Keller’s publication, Finesse for an upcoming issue. He was so happy with the art, he purchased the original.

If that wasn’t an honour enough, I recently found out the art won an award at the Society of Illustrators. On Feb 3rd, the award reception will be taking place at the Society in NYC, so if you’re in NYC you may attend the reception/opening of the awards exhibit.
