BrewDog T-shirts & Desktops     12th Feb 2010

Whilst Martin, James and Bracken are busy making beer, selling beer and eating biscuits (respectively) they asked me to get my sketchbooks out and have a go at designing some alternative BrewDog t-shirts. You can see the original options here.

The alternative BrewDog T-shirt collection features 2 designs, available in black on white or white on black (ladies: I'll have a little word with the boss and see if we can have some girls' tees printed too). Each design was delicately drawn by hand in pen and ink, with a little bottle of Punk IPA as liquid inspiration.

This is a part of a very scientific customer focus group - if you would like to get your paws on one of these tees you need to click here and comment on the shirts you like the look of.

Most popular designs go into production. Simples

First up is HopSkull - an intricately inked skull of hops, surrounded by gothic flourishes, spider's webs and rambling foliage. It's dark, a little scary but with a strangely enchanting beauty.

PictoPunk takes inspiration from tattoo art and graffiti; a stenciled bottle of Punk IPA is entwined in barbed wire and chains, surrounded by BrewDog-esque paraphernalia - all delicately hand penned in muted shades of grey, interrupted by splashes of BrewDog blue.

So what do you think? Yes? No? Maybe? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts - they are your t-shirts, you help decide!

I've also been working with BrewDog's favourite photographer David Branfield on a collaboration piece, using some of my hand drawn illustrations overlaid over his super cool photos (click here to see behind the scenes of David's most recent BrewDog photoshoot) The David v Johanna Mash-up combines slick photography with delicate hand penned ink, ripe for a little BrewDog fly poster action...

In the meantime you can get your paws on one of 3 rather cool Dog Desktops featuring the PictoPunk design in a black or white background or the David v Johanna Mash-up - perfect for pledging you allegiance and pimping your desktop.
