Commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
"Mūļāps" from translation in Latvian, means "Clumsy", and that's what I wanted to represent on this label. A goofy looking guy, being awkward and a little bit chaotic, yet still looking cool about it. I also wanted to create the same effect on the "wordmark", making it look unusual. That's why the letter P is upside down, it makes no sense, but compliments the label and idea of the beer's name.

How was the illustration used:
Illustration was used as packaging material for promotional purposes.

How did you make this work:
1. Research about the company. 2. Understanding the meaning behind word "Clumsy". 3. Doing sketches. 4. Make it digital and add textures and colour corrections.
