Mr. Trashcan

This past summer I spent a few weeks working at a farm stand near my house. Sometimes business was really slow and I found that i spent the majority of my time drawing the fruit rather than selling it. I started out just scribbling pictures with a black sharpie and blue pad of paper, but as time went on and the "same-old, same-old" got dull i started experimenting with techniques and perspectives. I ended up drawing between 1-3 pieces per day, and while most of them quickly met Mr. Trashcan, some of them were saved and are currently sitting in a messy pile on my desk (also probably going to meet Mr. Trashcan eventually.) Despite whether or not they end up in the trashcan, they were successful in keeping me entertained the entire summer.
