CANNED – IF

I thought of so many variations on this prompt and decided to go with my first thought; which is my version of “can“.

I thought of can-can dancer, but I wanted them to be elegant, so here’s my concept…cans as ballet dancers.

The words that’s playing in my mind are from the song by the Pointer Sisters…“I know you can make it, I know that you can. I know darn well, if you can, can, if you can“!

So here’s to can make it, every day, in every way!
Happy Weekend!

  1. That is a good take on the topic. Great illustration. I know I can’t can’t kick that high.

  6. i sure do love this and i have always loved that song and the Pointer Sisters too 🙂

  9. Hheheh! This is cool. At first I had a hard time reading the letters. Oh it is nice to unwind with IF. I like the last pair of legs. Maybe their heads will pop up if you open the can?

  12. This is too funny! Cans doing the can-can! Love it 🙂 Also, thank you for your kind encouragement (regarding rejections) you left on my blog…I appreciate it! 🙂

  14. Too funny, very unique. They look like they could charm the label off a can of sardines….

  17. The Pointer Sisters!!! One of my very favorites! I used to sing that song to my son when he was a baby, so this illustration brings back sweet memories for me!! Beautifully done!

  18. This is hilarious! Fine solution to the “canned” one. We need more of this in life. Best to you!

  20. thanks for the chuckle. remembering that song “oh can you do the can-can”; recalling days that the richest girls wore the most can cans under their dresses (we are talking the 50’s here). They had to be washed in sugar water to make them stand out further

  21. Love this, fun and energetic. You have a great imagination. Looking back on your illustration I really love the one on ‘enough’, so very true and real,

  23. Love your take on this! And love the Pointer sisters; have an LP of theirs and last week looked up the price of a CD! Very expensive!

  29. I like the way you think! You made me laugh with this one.
    Looking at the rest of your blog and your work is beautiful!!

  30. this is a fantastic and funny concept, i adore it….needed a laugh after this weekend.

  35. So Wonderful! I like how the type in “can can” alludes to a certain soft drink we all know but the type of “I” is your signature font and represents you.
    ( and thank you for your encouraging words regarding my IF’s )

  37. lol i dont know that song but those dancing cans sure look sexy jumpy! 8D

  43. Great idea! Erin and I both thought of it, but you pulled it off! I can just see them kicking their legs up to the “Pointer Sisters.” Now that song is stuck in my head, but Iove it, so it’s ok, hee hee.

  44. That is sooo funny…I use to dance professional ballet and believe me can costumes isn’t too far fetched when I think about some that we wore. Great illustration and I like the contrast in height that you used.

  45. I’ll have to bookmark your page…didn’t know you were out here in never, never blog land lol.

  46. Of course, the can-can! Why didn’t I think of that. I used to love the Cole Porter musical! =) Great idea.

  47. Thank you for the comments on my “Canned”.
    Can ballet dancers! Very fab! You are so clever!!
