I've been trying to think of what on earth I could do with the theme of "canned" and haven't come up with much. This is a great idea, I wish I'd thought of it! (Really well done, too, of course =)
that's quite an accomplishment for him. i hope it manages to stay up but i think a lot of kids would be tempted to see those cans topple over. lol. love the illustration!
hey, missing your entry last week. Now, this is another fantastic piece. love the guy in apron and stacking high canned food, what a clever entry Eric !
luv ur work !!! loved the canned ... n what mood in ur foggy ..i really liked the expression in that one ... :) i' always happy to look at ur beautiful stuff. n ur work is always conceptually driven.
you are one happy man eric! all your illo's show that. :) there is this certain amount of peace that lingers in every piece of yours. you are certainly right about your description. you have a beautiful family that inspires your work. "simply" awesome.
Natalí, Kathy, Carli, Kim, Denise, Saisai, Kelly, and Daisy: thanks so much for your comments!
Vjarumugam- thanks so much for your kind words.
Thierry- thanks for your comment. I think it's French onion soup in the orange cans, and blueberries in the blue cans. The only thing certain is that the stock boy is dreaming of France. :-)
Kari- can't wait to work on the book when you're in town!

How great!! Such a fantastic take on this week's topic!
I agree with Sean, it wasn't easy at all... :)

Eric, this is so clever. I love the look of satisfaction and pride.
You manage to say so much with so little. I really enjoy your style.
It would only take for one of my kids to come on by and knock it down! Great job!
Thank you, Lisa!

I want to shop where you shop. The grocers in this part of Texas are never that creative!
Clever and perfect illo!!!
Yeah! He's a grocer with architectural background! Brilliant idea!

Nice, I like the use of the blue cans for negative space. Smart! =)
Thanks, Nina!

Thank you, Abhishek!
Thanks, Roberta. They don't stack them like this at my grocery store, either.
Thank you, Julia!
Thank you, Shani! When I saw that the topic was 'canned', and that the person who suggested it was from France... the idea just popped in my head.
Thank you, Jennifer!
So nice! I enjoyed your work very much :)
a very clever response to the word Eric.. :)
okay, hi. I can totally see this in the Jacque book...
great idea and wonderful illustration
great illo! See - this proves you can work in a perhaps mundane job but still be creative in it! (no offence to all the shelf stockers out there)
Ahahah! So great!
I like your works!
But what is there in these cans?

Eric,
I truly love your work...
So whimsical!

Thanks for your kind comment!
