What if spirits could be canned and marketed like so many other things in our American culture?
In my pantry
In-A-Can Brand Evil Spirits. Read the label here.
In-A-Can Brand Benevolent Spirits (adults only!) Read the label here.
I made these product labels for my art group, Night of the Radish. We meet quarterly, every time with a different theme. Artists show paintings, poetry, sculpture, and “other” art, such as this one. The theme for this time was espiritu.

I’ve been posting my drawings for the 75-Day Sketch Challenge over on Facebook….sorry to those who are following me here…I’ll post them here soon.
Meanwhile, my friend Lisa Humpton and I have been making outdoor planters with a concrete mixture called “hypertufa.” It’s grown from a little fun project to some quite elaborate terrarium-like plantings. Today we’re showing them at a local fall festival. We’re looking forward to sharing the fun!
Here are a few examples of what we’re doing.

Wow, what a concept…to spend a whole day sketching and watercoloring your activities for a whole day, from the coffee and cereal you had for breakfast to the trip to Wal-Mart, to dinner preparations and everything in between. Now it’s an international event and they even have a website.
The sketch crawl date for this year is Saturday, July 14. Let’s do it!
