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.]
Now you're thinking like me! :)

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.
