I have not been surfing in a couple days due to all of the thunderstorm and rain we have been getting lately. On top of that, the weather out on the atlantic ocean has not been cooperating enough to make some decent waves here. I have been sitting around the house more than usual and after reading that article about drop shopping, started decorating old cans (relabeling them so to say).

This time I decided to relabel a can of beans that we had not used yet. Pulled the label off and cut out the upc. The background of the piece I did was from Lord of the Flies. It ended up fitting on the can perfectly and I only had to extend the page down a bit so it would stretch all the way around the can. I then glued the upc back on (so you could buy it at the grocery store).

After I was all finished with it I walked down to Pueblo (the local grocery store) and put it back on the shelf. I was all nervous that I was going to get caught or something. But what for? Its not like I stole anything and Pueblo is actually making out like a bandit since the item could get bought twice. After all, it is more likely to just get thrown away. I think a grocery store that is next some artsy college would make for a better place to do this. But not too close, since anyone with any real knowledge for art would most likely call me a scrapbooker for food cans.

Whatever, it made for a good picture.

P.s. Sorry for the lack of posts. The last couple weeks have been a blur of cheap rum, ramen, and lame crime novels.

UPDATE! I went and stopped by Pueblo to see if my can was still on the shelf and sure enough, it is almost a week later!
