The Washington Post

The Washington Post had a unique request for a food editorial illustration: a running shoe made completely out of potatoes! The accompanying story explores the potato as an essential element in the long-distant runner’s diet. Ever up for a challenge, I had fun utilizing different types and preparations of potatoes to achieve this delightful result. Thanks to the WaPo team for sending this one my way!
