Beer Label


Ten years ago I was commisioned to make beer labels for a brewery. The labels wound up looking great but the beer was not so good (so no more brewery.) This was the interior painting for the label of a beer called Bayman's Bock. I still have the label designs and will post them for you to see later. I learned a lot about long island as each beer label was based on a specific part of long island culture. One part of long island culture I learned a lot about was "never hand in a new illustration until they pay the wampum owed for the last illustration"---Chief lesson learned.
