Edible Magazine Cover #FOUR!

Posted on June 25, 2015 by Matthew Carden

I have been so honored to contribute to this amazing magazine over the last 6 years. Truly a valuable resource locally, and a standout in the many regional Edible magazines out there. They needed a special cover for the 6th anniversary celebration issue. The Editor had seen my new series “Pop Icons“, Since it was the summer issue we decided to go for a popsicle instead of a lollipop, and the results were awesome.
Thanks to my dedicated and amazing Food Stylist for making such a perfect frozen six…cantaloupe flavored too!!!! She really is the best!!!

Making a Splash in Spain!!

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Matthew Carden

A big Splash in Spain!
Spain’s premiere lifestyle magazine “Spend-In“, is featuring my work this month!
In an issue dedicated to the sea, they found that my unique perspective on water gives people something to think about. I have spent a lot of time in southern Spain and am so excited to see the people there embracing my work.

See more of my Sea pics at my website…:)

Si comer debiera ser una diversión, con las fotografías culinarias del artista Matthew Carden se nos abre un hambre terrible por un arte conceptual pero comprensible, asible. Sus imágenes forman el menú perfecto: Dos platos, postre y café en la mejor compañía.

Star Wars Sucks!

We all know how much I love Star Wars… So, we all know what I mean by “sucks” here…:) A delicious Darth and a couple of sweet droids are just part of the series…. Check out the rest of the POP Icons at my site. Every May 4th I try to think of a great way to celebrate Star Wars, I think this is a very sweet way to celebrate May!

Kellogg’s Commission….
I get a lot of interesting commissions, and this one was particularly fun.
The challenge was to use Kellogg’s cereals to create scene(s)!
Specific cereals, based on specific hobbies and interests. We started with horses, then ended up with skiers.
Think you know your cereals?
Match the cereal with the scene.

The Marsh “Nantucket” Show(s)

A MUST SEE SHOW!!!

“Nantucket” joins “Nantucket” for a limited time only!

My “CAKE – Nantucket” series is live in Berkeley at a The Marsh Theater during Mark Kenward’s fantastic one man play titled “Nantucket” .

A strange experience in my past connected me with long time friend/playwright/director/performer Mark Kenward.

My work and his really support each other in a weird way….check it out if you can! Information HERE.

The mysterious 7th image…

Until now the 7th (and somewhat sunny) image in the Cake -Nantucket series was unreleased.

See it live in Berkeley!!!

And see them all at Matthew Carden
