🍻 New Work! 🏭 Illustration for
@xxxx.beer 🍺 A most unexxxxpected opportunity that I’m so grateful of. I grew up on the Gold Coast but when I got my first “real job” I was working in Milton — home of the “Milton Mango” that XXXX beer is so affectionately known as. The original office of
@whoisjosephmark had a view of the XXXX factory, and when I first moved out of our family home — I lived just up the road from it. Such an iconic brand and beer that has truly stood the test of time (over 100 years old) 🥭 I never would’ve dreamt of drawing pictures for it! When the brief came in, courtesy of my rep
@jackywinter , I crossed my fingers and drank my beer hoping for a green light. I started drawing right away. Depicting everything that’s iconic to Queensland — our sunshine state — and everything that fits in the brand’s limited colour palette. 🌴 A king parrot, the “big pineapple”, a red kangaroo (“Wallaby Lewis”, the king of rugby league) and cooking shrimp on a barbie. 👑 Typography was inspired by an old Four Ex ad (slide 8) ✍️ And I animated “Mr. FourEx” just as a bonus 😉 The work is now live & for sale on the XXXX shop. 💻 Special thanks to my Jacky Winter agent
