At the time I was waiting tables at Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, FL. I was a cocktail waitress in the VIP lounge, which is Jimi Hendrix themed. I think staring at music memorabilia all day probably soaked my brain with that vibe. One day as I was leaving to go to work I saw a pile of cassette tapes laying on top of a canvas I had set near my door. I thought, “What ghosts could be hiding in those machines?” I pulled out the ribbon and tried to work with it, making some writing. I watched the ribbon curl up and it reminded me of Jimi Hendrix’s crazy hair, so that was the first portrait I made. I had never sold a piece of artwork. But selling was never that important… discovering is the fun part. by Erika Iris

Since I’ve started college, I’ve heard my fair share of entertaining Absinthe stories from my friends and family. Let me tell you one thing that never changes no matter whose story it is: they are anything but respectable.
This packaging though, is the definition of respect and class. The emerald green bottle, along with the glistening gold details screams dignified. It’s almost ironic how beautifully ornate this packaging is, compared to how the actual product makes you behave.
