This photo shows all three cans with Wolf Bite, a dark stout on the left, Hare Sprint, a dry cider in the middle and Vulture Scream, a cream ale on the right. The cans are highly illustrated with layers of an animal and the ingredients for each flavour profile done in traditional ink drawings and coloured with photography and natural textures. The style is modern gothic and looks dark but colourful. Hare Sprint, a dry cider by Misanthrope Brew Co. The can is a tan colour with an ink drawing of a rabbit running with a branch of apples wrapped around it. There is another ink drawing layered overtop with the rabbit’s skeleton and the entire illustration is coloured with bits of photography of rabbits and red apples. Vulture Scream, a blackberry cream ale by Misanthrope Brew Co. The can is lilac with an ink drawing of a vulture wrapped in a vine of blackberries. There is another ink drawing layered overtop with the vulture’s skeleton and the entire illustration is coloured with bits of photography of vultures and blackberries. Wolf Bite, a chaga and chocolate dark stout by Misanthrope Brew Co. The can is dark blue with an ink drawing of a wolf curled in chaga mushrooms and cocoa bean pods. There is another ink drawing layered overtop with the wolf’s skeleton and the entire illustration is coloured with bits of photography of wolves, chaga mushrooms and cocoa pods. Book cover designs for three books in the Oz book series. Tik Tok of Oz, Jack Pumpkin Head of Oz and the Scarecrow of Oz have been designed using ink drawings of the character over an ink wash forest background. All three books have a close up of the character on the front sitting within the trees. The books are done in a monochrome colour palette and have a white, serif text for the title which has been altered so some letters are smaller and some are bigger, giving it a whimsical feel.
