Hippity Hoppity
Illustration by Wendy Gardner for Target
Target’s labor practices may be far from up to snuff, you still have to admit it has impeccable taste. In preparation for Easter, Target commissioned the work of Wendy Gardner of Naughty, Naughty Pets fame. The cute overload has completely caramelized my brainmeats (and I mean that in the most complimentary way).
This, of course, isn’t Target’s first flirtation with luminaries of the digital illustration world. It has previously used the likes of J. Otto Siebold (the Ready, Sit, Read! Book Club) and Kirsten Ulve (for its Dottie Loves line for girls), both heroes of mine. (I lament the fact I can’t shove their display signage down my pants and get past security.)
It’s almost enough to make an illustration fangirl forget Target’s sweatshop violations. Almost.

Don’t forget that Target also made the morning after pill optional for its pharmacists to dispense. Mind you, no matter how they feel about over-population, Viagra is not optional medication.
