/the challenge

 

The folks over at Canadian Bakin had thought of not one, but two fun puns that they needed some help bringing to life. The first was the phrase “Carnivore”. They knew that they wanted a dinosaur of some sort eating a bagel for this one, but other than that they were fully open to ideas for what the little dino should look like or be doing

/the solution

 

Thankfully we have a lot of dinosaur books lying around the house (as one does!) I knew I wanted to pay homage to the name of the bakery and find a Canadian dino, so you can imagine how excited I was to find the Albertosaurus, a t-rex like dino first discovered in Canada! Thus, Albert was born! The penny-farthing riding, bagel-loving dino.

Canadian Boo-kin

/the other, spookier solution

 

Another pun they had in mind was Canadian Boo-kin, just in time for Halloween. They wanted a ghost bagel and were open to ideas as to how to make that happen. Thus, the spooky gluten spirit was born.
