Good Brew Design
I've long been a fan of beer label design and packaging. I've even gone to great measures to hold contests in where folks could submit their own label designs based around a particular beer.
That said, I've been really impressed by (not only the beer itself) but the illustrative design of Kona Coast Brewing Company. The simplicity of the illustrations on the bottle, the retro typefaces mirroring art nouveau travel lithographs and the color selection of each individual brew.
Finding illustration work in my field has been relatively difficult for me. So many artists out there, so many styles, and the constant change of styles, it's hard to keep up. Illustration is an area where I find myself extremely proficient and really enjoy doing. Acquiring an agent isn't as easy as one may think, it takes patience, research and persistence. It's also easy to get discouraged. Whenever I see work like this though, I'm inspired to continue to press through and try again.
