An illustration for Rock Leopard Brewing Co. a new craft micro brewery based in London. The second craft beer can label I've created for Rock Leopard, the first (Savage Scene Inner City Pale Ale) took a while to envisage and was used to set the scene for the world I wanted to create for the Rock Leopard beers. The idea for this piece came pretty quickly compared top the first beer. The name of the beer "Hops & Rain" for some reason brought snow capped mountains and lush green fields to mind. I've always loved old animation - Early Max Fleischer cartoons like Betty Boop and Popeye and early Disney Silly Symphonies cartoons, this is where the inspiration came from in the Rock Leopard World. Hops & Rain was sketched in pencil, then inked with Indian ink, scanned and coloured digitally with a Wacom tablet.
