Originally conceived as twelve individual labels for Abbeydale Brewery’s collaboration series, this piece unites the entire collection into a singular, panoramic vision. Ryan’s process begins with traditional ink on cartridge paper before moving to a digital canvas, allowing for a level of detail that rewards close inspection of every hidden character and brewery nod. The composition flows across the landscape from one collaboration to the next—featuring partners like Northern Monk, Yeastie Boys, and Thornbridge—creating a visual map of the craft beer landscape through a lens of high-energy illustration.

The aesthetic leans heavily into pop surrealism, blending film tropes and psychedelic imagery into a vibrant, chaotic harmony. By disrupting logical conventions of scale and setting, Ryan creates a world where fantastical realms coexist with familiar pop culture icons. The result is a dense, illustrative tapestry that captures the experimental spirit of the breweries involved, turning commercial packaging into a complex work of narrative art that explores the depths of a collective subconscious.
