Nike Air Max 1 "Limeade"
“Ladies and gentlemen come to buy a deciduous EN O GEE drink.”
That is not misspelled! That’s Ed from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. He’s the one with flies forming a halo around him. Standing behind their makeshift stand, he takes a deep breath and makes his pitch. “Ladies and gentlemen come to buy a deciduous EN O GEE drink.”
It’s their attempt to draw in the neighborhood kids to try their latest money making venture, Limeade.
We didn't do this as kids but I think it’s incredible to see. Not just the spirit but the signs with irregular sized lettering, random coloring choices, and how they sometimes lose control with a bold dash outside the lines.
I created this stamp with this in mind, even holding my pen and sitting as kids do. My entire legs contorted onto the seat cushion, my torso not only leaning but actually raised above the table, every single finger clasped around my pen and my tongue curled up towards my nose. It is a tried and tested technique that works.
Imagining I'm 6 and I’ve gone and built my stand and will sell tomorrow, along with the Nike Air Max 1 “Limeade,” on feet of course. With all this work, I’ve had to stay up a little late because I’ve got to make enough juice to sell. Rightly so, I'm a little frayed or cranky. And who saunters into the kitchen, my dad. He's just seen my incredible sign laid out, ready for the morning. “Why the green, yellow and red?” Is he really about to do this? Now? I'm walking over to the fridge, putting the last of that juice away so that it's cold and refreshing tomorrow. I’m definitely exasperated, I’ve done school all week and now this. With a sigh because I'm always explaining obvious things to him and I shouldn't, I’m 6! Taking off my ready steady cook apron, “I get no peace in this house, green and yellow because the limes in the fridge are that color (duh) and red because it’s my favorite color.”And that’s all it takes and why I love kids coloring.
So, 6 year old me has a lot to do tomorrow and this stamp is a part of my signage that I hope goes down well and I don’t have to explain “why red?” again.
