A craft beer label illustration for Abbeydale Brewery x Yeastie Boys Brewery
Label number one for the first collaboration brew out of Abbeydale’s Funk Dungeon Project.
Abbeydale Brewery and Yeastie Boys Brewery got together to create Creeping Brett, a 4.7% Sour Weizen Beer. This is the first collaboration to come out of Abbeydale’s Funk Dungeon Project and the first of 6 labels that will form an interconnecting piece of art.
My carnivorous plant collection became the inspiration for this first beer label illustration.
I’m in the process of really experimenting with as much colour as I can use on my latest illustration. I want the cans to shout at you from the far side of the bottle shop “Drink ME!”
The piece was sketched in pencil, then inked with Indian ink, scanned and coloured digitally with a Wacom tablet.
Part of the Abbeydale Collab Series – Part One and Two
Each series had 6 collaboration beers with 6 other breweries that were available in 440ml Can as well as Keg and Cask.
There were 12 beers in total in each series, with a year in between each series.
The can artwork for each beer joined together so the end beer drinker could peel and join the labels to make one big piece of artwork:
