I’m working on some ideas for a mural design for a potential client. They suggested I check out FruitCrateArt.com which has a huge collection of vintage fruit crate labels. These are my favorites from the site.
Moonbeam Brand Citrus
Sweet ‘N Juicy Grapes
California Elbertas
Blue Mountain Apples
Kaweah River Belle Citrus
Justman Melons
Colorado Peaches
Valley King Vegetables
Yakima Peaches
Clearcut Tomatoes
Remember the days before Photoshop and Illustrator? I don’t. This is great design with a texture you don’t see in modern computer-driven design. Makes me want to pick up a paintbrush. I might have to if I’m going to pull off this job.

These are great examples of vintage art work. Really good resource. Interested to see the design you come up with.

Well, budgets as they are, this project never panned out. But this collection is good inspiration and gets some pretty good traffic—hope everyone enjoys these.
