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]
I wouldn't mind having to "suffer through" more work like this
Also, besides the fruity teas, there are also cinnamon flavored teas and the like, why don't you try one of those?
Er, what's a nudibranch?
Keep on truckin, you art nuevo/pop/crazy thing of an artist, you!
BTW, congrats on the new house...
Haha, genius!
I love the designs, excellent work. I don't know a whole lot about graphic design, but they look pretty good to me.
