Budda sketch

Here’s a cartoon I cranked out today for an emergency client request. We’re getting swamped here at Wiz Studios lately, so I drew most of it, scanned, then duplicated, flipped, and merged to save some time.

Back to Liquor Labels

An eagle on a motorcycle simply has to be an adult beverage design. Suggest the United States flag in the background with a few stars and stripes and you have yourself a label for an American lager.

This turned out much nicer than the version I originally had in my head. The design or drawing process that takes on a life of it’s own and dictates the direction of the project is fascinating and strange at the same time.

Iced Tea Label

Well, the liquor labels have been shoved aside to make room for other beverages. Finally. Ya’ll in the south will be thrilled to see this one I reckon.

New Label

Well, when I posted the last couple of labels, I said there was nothing left in the pipeline, and at the time that was true. But apparently there are still a few designs left in my head that are clamoring to get out and I really can’t say for certain when this design theme of mine will come to an end.

On each of the labels, I have tried to keep the design as consistent as possible with the theme: fonts, color, secondary elements, even the border design. I haven’t always been as successful as I would have liked.

As a reminder to those of you who have asked, all of these label designs are created in Illustrator, 100% vector format and fully scalable.

Liquor Labels 5

There are no more of these in the pipeline, so this will be the last installment of my cartoon series of liquor labels for at least some time. I hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as I have.

I thought I would share a couple of old pieces of mine from another lifetime and definitely not cartoons. The woman is colored pencil and the boat is watercolor and ink.
