Grapes.

I think everyone has a food that comforts them when they eat it, i.e., comfort food.

However I'm not sure many people have a food that makes them feel royal, as though you are somehow part of the elite by eating it; that your status is more socially recognized and you're financially better off than you actually are.

This strange sensation of increased importance/wealth completely fills me up when I eat grapes. I'm not sure if it's because I grew up reading Greek mythology and all the gods and goddess ate grapes or drank wine and I'm making a connection with that, or whatever, grapes make me feel important.

Hell, if you give me some slices of pepper jack cheese with it, I'd believe I'm Aphrodite.

Because I always have this notion when I eat grapes, and indeed, right now I'm eating grapes, I did this quick sketch.




If I get time I'll complete it into a full digital painting. (Don't I always say that? lol)

The idea here is that a girl is sitting on some trashcans in an alleyway, munching on grapes and lounging about amongst the garbage. Even though she's surrounded by waste, it doesn't matter, because she's eating grapes and it just makes her feel awesome and takes her away to an imaginary world where she is a queen.

I think it's a cute idea. XD
