Beer...labels

My bros over at Crazy Eye Brewing here in Hiawatha have undertaken the rather arduous task of building a distribution brewery from scratch and brought me along for the ride (woo-boo!!! Beer!!!).  I get to do the best part-- create beer labels.  I think I could do this forever and not really get tired of it.  They have, of course, given me pretty free reign with the design, and as long as I come up with something awesome, it's ok.  After a few hurried attempts, I've arrived at a style that I think will adequately capture the attention of even the most libationally impaired drinker.
I've got a couple more tweaks to tweak on this sucker, but it's pretty much figured out.

Looks fantastic! I love the terrified little grains falling into the fire.

How might a California-situated person get his grubby little hands on some of this fine product?

Thanks, Charles. Man, it might be a little while. I think that distribution increases in a sort of radial fashion and we're in Kansas. I'll see what I can do to move California up the list.

Cartooning Class #3-- Drawing...

3. Don't take drawing for granted. It's deep. It can blow your mind if you let it. Please know that I respect other approaches to drawing. I just go with what I think is best. It follows that to me, my way of drawing and thinking about drawing is the best. But that’s just me. I say that because I know I’m going to get a little heavy-handed here. Ahem. Remember that the drawing BEGINS in your mind, so don’t limit yourself at the beginning by small thinking. Drawing isn’t really about rendering something in 2 dimensions. I haven’t seen anything in the real world that is totally and completely flat (don’t argue with me here, I’m trying to make a point). Even a “flat” piece of paper becomes a dynamic form when you pick it up off the table. It bends and moves. Everything exists in some kind of space, and since the human imagination has the capacity to deconstruct and transcend what we know as “reality” we ought not limit ourselves to two dimensions-- especially this ear...
