Artist's Comments

I have all the graphic design skills of an injured nudibranch. However, I had the line-art for the chibi squash piece anyway, and I was fooling around in Photoshop, and I came up with this label for a fictional tea (although if there was a brand called "Red Wombat" I'd be all over it!)

Since I have no design skills whatsoever, and really wish I did--there's some artists with very strong graphical skills that blow me outta the water--I should really practice stuff like this more, if I ever want to develop them, although that means you, O viewer, would have to suffer through the Hundred Multicolored Abuses of A Squash, and I'm not a cruel woman by nature. But--Squash! c'mon! Squash! (On a largely unrelated note, this is the first thing I've ever posted in "Pop Art." Madness! Utter madness!)

Also, I think Earl Grey is the only one of those I'd drink. I'm not really a fan of the fruity teas. Except maybe Lemon Zinger.

Prints are available, small and jumbo for $10 and $20, plus shipping, 'cos c'mon, who wouldn't want Squash-themed tea labels in the kitchen? Drop a note, visit [link]

You know, I love to comment. If I've given you one then I probably admire your work and acknowlege that its better than mine. That said, I still enjoy getting comments back. :D
I've never before found squash to be particularly (nearly painfully) cute, but this new fixation in your art has opened my eyes to the wonders of striped vegetation. :heart:
The design sense of the nudebranch is something I've always associated with NYC's fashion district. That is to say, horrible and everything is either spandex or sparkly with more colour that your bleeding eyes can handle.

I think you're heading steadily towards writing a Squashology. Which would be the way to go!

I think perhaps it could use some larger, bolder text at the top in order to balance out the bottom-heavy feel of it, but these are incredibly fun nonetheless! :)
I feel oddly like vectoring a Red Wombat label. I blame it on the tea addiction.
Tea is very good, but the only teas I'll like in this selection are orange blossom and earl grey.

As someone with actual graphic design training, I have to say that this kicks ass.
So. Much. Squash.

I've seen the word squash so much that through constant repetition it no longer holds any meaning and I feel like I've spelt it wrong :crying:.

However I wouldn't say no to some squashy earl grey. :tea:
