Description
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]

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.

I think that half the fun of this picture is looking at it without any context and wondering just *where* it came from.

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?

Love the labels, I'd buy the tea just for that. Out of interest, what's the font you used for Squash's stash?

I like very much the chosen fonts. I think they fit brilliantly with the drawing's lines, they're both very morbid.

I thought the writing under presents was arabic, and then like a cloud becoming a pony or Cthulhu eating a kettle I realised it says Squash's Stash. I feel silly.

This would be one of the teas that I'd buy due to the packaging alone. Those injured neutebranchs must be a talented bunch if they produce stuff like this. Nice work!

Mm, earl grey. Pass it over! Hell, I'd FOUND Red Wombat if I had that kinda money. Just for you!
.. And for me, because hey, tea sells well.

I must admit, when I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be a picture of Squash smoking pot. But this is so much better than that! Hee.. 'Red Wombat Tea Co.' 
As soon as I have the fundage, I'm definitely going to get a print of this for my kitchen.

I think if you're onto religious icons, an Apple Buddha is the only way to go.

Call me a masochist but I don't mind you practising your graphic design skills on me. (I'll let the other viewers speak for themselves.)
I really like the idea of a tea brand, it's got much potential. I'm incllned to start 'Red Wombat' co. myself, if only to use your art (and produce great tea at the same time).

You and your Squash-obsession... XD Looks like a nice label, though. Red Wombar tea.. mm....

These could be real product labels. And they're very cute. Adorable Squash! Whee!!

wow i thoguht that was totally real for a second.
good thing?
yeah... to me at least

Lol, that's pretty funny!
The design's actually pretty good. (I have a degree in graphic design, so I know good when I see it)
I could see that as an actual label.
Nice play on colors.
Although the font for "Squash's Stash" takes effort to read. (the Q and T are weird, and the U looks like a Y)
Advice: When doing a label, try to pick a font that is really easy to read. Just a thought, in case you're serious about practicing in Graphic Design. =]
If not, ignore everything I just said except for the part where I said it was good.

Hi, Ursula the Wierd,
Blackberry tea I actually do like, and if it came packed like this I'd be a gonner for sure.

Yes, Lemon Zinger is the shiznibble of Wierd Teas. Though I do protest- Ginger Peach is rather a grand thing. 'least when yer sick.
Ha, these would be cute logos. Maybe make those little bubbles into oranges, blackberries, and... er... earls?

You need a coffee table book....all of your random images, sketches, bests, thoughts, ideas, finished and unfinished...all in a lumped pile behind a hardcover...somehow...it must be done.

Blah, i always HATED the Lemon Zinger

wow. thats like the kinds of tea my mom likes to laugh at brits for.

Oooh. It needs "Zuni Breakfast Tea". Then I'd be delighted.

i think it'd be better if squashy was actually holding the cup by, y'know, the handle. :b
also might want some sort of visual logo to correspond to the different teas. or maybe play with the backgound bubbles for some variaty.
