The Absinthe Label!


The label I had in mind while working on the Editorial Sketch assignment was something I'd started up for a friend a while back. That project has progressed slowly, but the more I continue to work on other aspects of drawing and design that were rough for me the more inspiration I get to wrap this up. It's not far! But the last bit of feedback I got was that the figure was more "Rubenseque" than (green) faerie-like. The final look and feel I'm shooting for is like something you'd find on the My Pet Skeleton websites (well, the older one anyway... http://www.mypetskeleton.com/index2.html) or on a poster from the Secession times... classy, a little provocative, rich.

Anyhow, here's one later iteration on the sketches I've done... Originally I set out to have this all be done digitally but sorting it out on paper has proved to be more helpful. I'll post up the finished label when it's done.
