This and That


After the calendar, I decided to search for more candies and interesting labels. Do you know how hard it is to find interesting candies in regular grocery stores and c-stores. I finally found an import store. The lady bugs are chocolate, not sure where from. The milk n honees and mars are from Italy. The lobster candy looks like from Russia and I am most curious about what kind of candy that will turn out to be! The bananko also looks Russian. Loved the herding cats label and it is from South Africa. I hope you enjoy.

Great minds...You're right. We both have candy bars and liquor on our drawing boards!

Funny you are rendering in your art, the graphic design art sold commercially and yours is so much more lively - so much done commercially is boring now and concocted to stimulate some far reach of our brain to "BUY, BUY, BUY" - you captured what truly pleases and intrigues the eye - BRAVO!

Nice painting. Actually, Bananko is from Croatia, just like me. :)

Thanks for everyone's comments! Thanks, also, for the heads up on the Bananko being from Croatia.
