Russian Candy Wrappers

Occasionally my habit of visually scanning sewers, gutters, abandonded lots and rubbish pays off with the discovery of something I've never seen before.  In this case, the bright primary colors of these wrappers caught my eye, half-buried in a trash can on Hollywood Blvd.  I am a huge fan of highly formal, presentaional and symmetrical graphic design, and I love these simple, whimsical and timeless images.  I'm sure I wouldn't approve of the animal bi-products they once enclosed, but I find the packaging very satisfying.

Love this! How amazing you are to have recognized and rescued such charming discarded pieces from the waste heap.
