This illustration represents the fourth installment in a six-part panoramic series for Abbeydale Brewery’s collaboration with the smoke-specialists at Torrside. Ryan captures the 'smokey wizardry' of the brew through a landscape-oriented composition that blends sci-fi motifs with a playful, children’s book sensibility. The artwork mirrors the beer’s complex profile, using a rich palette to evoke the presence of raisins and dried apricots within a distorted, dreamlike environment.

Utilizing a Wacom Cintiq to color his hand-drawn foundations, Ryan achieves a style that sits at the intersection of animation and classic illustration. Because this label is designed to interconnect with others in the series, the composition feels like a fragment of a larger, unfolding myth. It successfully subverts natural laws to create a space where the mundane ingredients of a brewday are reimagined as monumental elements of a psychedelic fantasy.
