Illustration Work-Beer Labels and Carton-1997

About 8 years ago, a small micro-brewing company in the mid-west contacted me to do illustrations for a new beer they were producing. I did about half a dozen different labels and this carton. It was a fun job, and it's always good to have your artwork on a product. I was in Asbury Park N.J. last summer, and what did I see on the ground next to a garbage can in the parking lot --- one of the empty bottles that I did the artwork for!
LESSON TO EMERGING ARTISTS: Getting your artwork on a product is important--and can have unexpected longevity.
