Unit price perAbout the Artwork:
Dick Williams (1908-1981) was an American commercial illustrator whose work flourished during the mid-20th century. While details about his career are somewhat scarce, his contributions to the war effort stand out. Williams created illustrations for various publications, but his impactful posters for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) like "Of Course I Can!" played a vital role in boosting morale and promoting resourcefulness on the home front during World War II.
This colorful poster features a bright-eyed woman in a checkered dress and apron. She carries an armful of jars of colorful fruits and vegetables. Her enthusiastic expression and determined stance communicate a sense of can-do spirit. The bold text "Of Course I Can! I'm as Patriotic as Can Be – And Ration Points Won't Worry Me!" completes the poster.
"Of Course I Can!" celebrates the essential contributions of civilians during World War II presenting food preservation as a form of patriotic duty.

nice design, comfortable
I recently bought a small fruit still life t-shirt with the citron color. That picture/t-shirt color combo works well together and it looks the same in person as the picture. Would recommend
I love the shirt! And love that people look at it and scratch their heads a bit thinking about what it means.
The shirt fits true to size and the quality is great. I was a little worried that the large screen print would lead to a rigid shirt but it’s not all. It feels as though it’s a blank tee but has great designs, front and back. It’s been through the wash a few times so far with zero signs of wearing.
Very happy.
As a T-Shirt snob this T-Shirt is one of my best. Its design is spot on unique, its material is very nice and comfortable. And it fits. Looking forward to seeing more from this brand.
I love how unique this is! It looks great hanging in my kitchen.
As a fan of all things dance, I could not resist and I love my t-shirt! It is soft and a perfect fit. So far, it has held up in the wash. The company website made ordering easy and I was kept informed of delivery dates. I love the variety of products and expect to order something new in the future.
I have gotten SO MANY comments on this shirt. It’s a hit!
Great gift for my boyfriend
