We’re thrilled to debut Sardines and Friends at the 2025 Portland Jigsaw Masters! Created by Portland-based artist Yoko Baum, this vibrant puzzle was specially customized for the tournament and is based on an illustration she originally created for the StarChefs Rising Stars Portland issue. Look closely and you’ll even spot a warm “Welcome to Portland” tucked onto one of the quirky tins!

Yoko specializes in food & drink, lifestyle illustration for editorial, advertising/branding, and publishing industries and her playful, personality-packed style shines through in every detail. With repeating blues, yellows and oranges, we expect this puzzle may be trickier than it looks! We'll be curious to see if any speed puzzlers dare to tackle the frame first? With our oversized 500 piece format, some tins and shadows may cross into the frame offering helpful hints, but we shall see!
