This week's theme over at Illustration Friday is "Bottled". I thought this theme was begging for one of my takes on a fantasy beer label.
Cheers!

One of the coolest labels yet.
TANGENT:
How about doing a photo-realistic parody of a clear bottle of SPAM à la Warhol's Campbell's Soup label? It could have a small line on the label that reads "Bottled under the authority of SEO Marketing Services Online."

That looks like a pretty stout ale.

Hey G, mind your Ts and Ss. :-) The ale by Burnager Brewery is called "Gunner Venutian Stout" while the Olmac Pharmaceuticals drug is called "Gunner Venusian Stout". Both are technically vasodilators but the latter dilates very specific vasos, if you know what I mean.
Does anyone know the story about how the legendary Baxter Stark ended up on the label of the ale there? My grandpa told me that Stark was on leave from mining in the Sildenafil galaxy and he confused the two stouts. Apparently, the result was hi-larious and rumor of the incident spread like wildfire, so Burnager capitalized on it by making him their spokesman.
Grandpa wouldn't say what Stark actually did, but he cracked up everytime he said "mind your Ts and Ss, boy" like it's an in-joke. I'd laugh along with him even though I didn't really get it; what's more, he knew I didn't get it which I swear made him laugh even harder.
I know that initially there were a bunch of lawsuits between Burnager and Olmac Pharma over their product names and the curious fact that S also tastes like beer, but the publicity generated from people confusing their products apparently offsets their liabilities.

In some part, we have been insensitive to the types of change that technology makes possible - as well as the intense desire of people to participate in that change. We may give Dubai credit for its skyscrapers and man-made islands, but we don't give credit to their mobile phone networks and their innovation initiatives. Saudi Arabia, in fact, drew special attention from the World Economic Forum for their YESSER e-government initiatives and ability to develop top technological talent on a national level. When we think about Saudi Arabia, we don't usually think about these types of technological innovations.

Most bloggers pretend to comprehend what they're talking about when it comes to this area and most of the time, very few people actually get it. You seem to understand it however, so I think you ought to run with it. Thank you!
