Mermet Lake - a Local Favorite

Memories of Mermet Lake are not difficult to come up with if you're from this neck of the woods... 

Setting Sun

As a kid I have memories of fishing there with my folks and my brothers... as a teenager I have memories of cool kids going there

for parties that I was far to "hovered over" to attend even if I HAD been invited... hahaha and as an adult I have memories of shooting at Mermet with Mary very heavily during one Spring.  It remains a place that I enjoy going, but as I'm on the way I always seen to think, "Ugh... farther out here than I thought.."

The Story of the Porky's Fine Food Design...

The Story of the Porky's Fine Food design.... 

Several years ago on my birthday, the fam had made a little trip to a fish joint about 45 minutes of so North of here... After dinner we drove around and as I hung out the window with my camera, Dad mentioned that there were a few spots I'd want to see...

Momentarily we pulled up at one of the most beautiful vintage signs I'd ever seen!

As the Holiday Season Approaches, You Have to Ask Yourself...

"Do I have a fan of all things *Choo-Choo* and Railroad related on my shopping list?"

At Flawn Ocho you can find many *Choo-Choo* and Railroad designs
with more being added before the *holiday shopping season* officially begins...

***

The Choo Choo Collection logo itself is created from a shot I captured of tin can remains on the side of the railroad tracks in Makanda, Illinois... No doubt the trace of a hobo who wandered through on his way to who knows where.  It's truly one of my favorite shots of all time... 

The Choo Choo Collection logo is available on 

Shirts and Such 

  

Totes and Such

  

   

and this newly designed logo (using an image I caught of the Metropolis Bridge as a train was crossing one afternoon) is available on this absolutely deeeelightful large java mug...

Magnets are an inexpensive and delightful gift 
that can be enjoyed all year... 
 

  

 

You can see the entire Choo-Choo Collection at the following link~

And don't forget gang, 
all of the items in Flawn Ocho are designed from 
my photographs, doodles and art...
and I do make actual U.S. money 
every time you buy something,
therefore shopping here while you should be working
is highly appreciated...

Have a Grand and Groovy Day!!
