Illustration

Have you ever pondered buying something you would never actually want to have because of the label?  I was at the liquor store {or the packy if you're from Massachusetts, but I happened to be in another state at the time} in search of pure sugar cane rum and found this.

Spiced rum reminds me of some college housemates I had that always seemed to have a gallon-sized jar of Captain Morgan's on top of the fridge, replaced often I assume, and I can't drink it now but I really was tempted by the illustration on the bottle.

Are there any products you buy, or want to buy, specifically for the packaging?

Cosas Minimas

No too long ago, I treated myself to a couple of illustrations from the Cosas Minimas shop by Blanca Gomez on Etsy.  I love these simple and colorful drawings and have had the vespa image as my desktop image for months while I was waiting to purchase it.

Someday I hope that this illustration {below} is available to buy as a print.

I found it on her website as a past project and it doesn't look like it was ever made into more than a card, but it's waiting on my desktop just in case.
