Wine labels that never were
Related to the previous post, due to a bit of a miscommunication between client and designer I executed some alternate designs for wine bottles that were not needed.

Not much information about who the other artists involved in it are but am looking forward to seeing what Redmonk has in for this, his work always features an appealingly witty... Continue reading...
