Rhett and Link – Album Art
Like many creatives, I’m always on the lookout for those rare and near perfect set of circumstances that present a client, who is not only looking for a little more than the norm, but is also trusting enough to let you find it…I call them “unicorn projects”. Back in July I was asked about designing some album art for the supertalented, North Carolina-based comedy duo, Rhett & Link. Hmmmm… music, comedy, cool folks & package design… yep, it def. smelt like a unicorn to me. I’m happy to report that the project, and the experience did not dissapoint. Working with talented, and down-to-earth folks like these made this project about as satisfying as they come. A huge, heartfelt thank you to both Rhett and Link for the work, and all the trust that went into producing it.

Bold City Brewery – Fritz Hefeweizen
Fritz Hefeweizen is the newest brew creation from the folks over at Bold City Brewery. The name & portrait are inspired by someone very near & dear to the brewmaster’s heart, his grandfather, Fritz. I had a chance to sample this brew a couple months back, & have to say, it’s one of the finest they’ve produced to date… I think Fritz would be proud. If you get the chance, I def. reccomend swinging by Bold City or your favortie water hole to give this one a try… & while you’re there, check out the snapy new look of the taps… hope you enjoy
