Costumes!

Costumes are great. I love 'em.

This year I wanted to make something fun. Crazy ideas came and went, but one got in my head and stayed... My boyfriend Chris drinks this beer called Schlitz. Everyone laughs when he says he drinks it, so I decided that it would be funny if he WAS a Schlitz can. I bought some cheap muslin and this thick plastic table clothy material (1 inch foam was my first idea, but it's insanely expensive!), then I cut out stencils for the Schlitz logo and went at it with spraypaint that I found in the basement. My mother is a seamstress so she helped me piece it all together. To top it off I made some little silver tab hats. :)

On Saturday night Chris and I went to a restaurant/bar to meet up with friends for a costume party. There were some great costumes... but everyone loved the Schlitz cans!! The couple sitting next to us at the bar bought us a drink because they were so amused with 2 beer cans sitting at a bar (hahaha)! It was definitely the best halloween!!

wind


this is my first post to Illustration Friday. it's out of my sketchbook... i used it to create a wood block print, but i like the sketch better. anyway, when i think of wind, i imagine closing my eyes and taking a deep breath of new england autumn air. after living in the city for a few years, i realized that fresh air is the sweetest thing around.
