I was minding my own business in the summer of 2019, plotting brilliant strategies for a successful Trader Joe's grocery haul, when I stopped dead in my tracks.
My oh my, Trader Joe's is full of delightful surprises…but I already knew that.
When I saw this little gem (below), I immediately burst out laughing!
I think I might have startled a few folks, but I didn’t care. My mind just skyrocketed all the way through the stratosphere, passed Luna, dived into a wormhole and blinked back into existence somewhere in the vicinity of Mars.
If I strain a bit, I can almost hear the echo of epic, space adventure, game music swelling in the background. Stumbling across this beauty was that good!
I enjoy this piece so much because it's tongue-in-cheek (or digital look-alike rendition), perfectly captures the zeitgeist surrounding an age-old, modern mystery.
Artist, WHOMEVER you are: WELL DONE sir or madame!
WELL DONE.

Public Announcement: This blog post is part of a collection of 354+ posts from my original Wordpress blog "Dreaming Into Being" library. I've now retired and migrated it to “Wander & Paint,” my new blog posts at the United Wanderlust art shop. As time allows, I will be reviewing, editing, condensing, updating and releasing a number of these blog posts but not all of them.
Some posts require more precision surgery than others. I'll also probably be publishing new posts as the muse wills it and father time allows. This whole process may take a while but I think these blog post serve as great documentation of my process and reminds me of certain milestones. So, most of them will be made available again- at some point.
