stormhoek bottles

[A print idea for #evil­plans. Click on image to enlarge etc.]

EUREKA! I had my EVIL PLANS road trip idea, but it was lac­king the social object it nee­ded to really work.
Sure, dri­ving around Texas with a video camera and an idea about “Dream Big” was all very well, but it nee­ded something to work as a totem for the Stormhoek wine.
IDEA: Hand-painted wine bott­les.
I’ve drawn on Stormhoek wine bott­les before, using pain­ting sticks. They loo­ked kinda cool. While I tra­vel around Texas, I’ll be making them to hand out to peo­ple who went to all the trou­ble to sup­port this enter­prise. See image above to get a rough idea what it might look like…
This is exci­ting. The road trip idea is sud­denly A LOT More inte­res­ting, all of a sud­den. Rock on.

[Update: Just added this blog post to EVIL PLANS.]

   I have a sculp­ture that dis­plays wine bottle han­ging on my wall. How much for a Mac­Leod ori­gi­nal? ;->

   Dan, Exactly! Always steal from the best, I say
   I was mes­sing around with pain­ted Stormhoek bott­les about 3 years ago, but at the time we didn’t have the resour­ces to pur­sue it further, which I was bum­med about…
   LA, I’ll let the mar­ket decide how much the bott­les go for… I could easily see them going for a cou­ple of hun­dred, even­tually. But these things are hard to predict.
