Have you ever looked at your lunch and thought, “Wow, that croissant looks ready to fight a monster?” Well, Taiwanese artist Chen’s Pizza it definitely has! This super talented character designer takes everyday snacks and transforms them into a hilarious, adorable cast of tiny heroes, monsters and mascots. Each piece is simply full of personality.
Set against bright, sweet backdrops with strong comic book action lines, these 3D creatures look like they’re a second away from jumping right off the screen and into their own animated show. The details are honestly so much fun. You’ll find little food warriors armed with chocolate hammers and breadcrumb axes, while other critters happily hide in layers of dough, fluffy sauce or fluffy cream. And then there are some who just stand there looking completely bewildered by their very existence — which is completely relatable.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Chen’s Pizza (artist) has some serious industry cred. He has worked with huge animation studios and brands such as Netflix, Nickelodeon, Psyop and Nexus Studios. His signature style is to balance bold shapes with highly expressive storytelling details.
If you’re a fan of stylized food art or just appreciate top creative character design, his portfolio it is an absolute must visit. Go ahead and give it a follow up Instagram to brighten up your feed—just try not to look at his work on an empty stomach!
