Beer

“If 3 Floyds beer labels are demon and monster-filled hellscapes, Half Acre are whimsical, animal-filled, adorable… hellscapes.” – Thrillist

I drew a beer label for Half Acre Beer Co. toward the end of 2009, which led to spending most of the next decade inventing Half Acre’s distinctive visual brand (and designing a few label/packaging designs for 3 Floyds) during a time of massive expansion and innovation in the craft beer industry. My designs are well known and have a place in the history of the craft beer scene in Chicago and further afield. This page contains just a sample from almost 10 years of work.
