A little something I'm developing. A series of premium wine labels called 'Unsung Hero'. From 3 origins - Argentina, Chile & South Africa. Fairtrade accredited, hence the idea to champion the workers on the front label.
The illustration I envisioned for this label was definitely way beyond my own capabilities, so I hired the best - master illustrator and full-time genius, TB. This is inked by hand - obviously time didn't allow for an actual engraving.
WOW! Simon. i guess I have been drinking so much beer lately that i missed the wine labels. And you always do some fantastic designs for the wine boys. Love this one also.
cheers.
@Shane: Thanks for the encouragement! Font is Engravers. It was just a placeholder for a hand-drawn logotype, which I've just completed. Will upload the full label when launched.
Actually, could I get some samples of Tobie Beele's work too, and his contact info, I have a client looking for a very good illustrator, I think we may have found him. Thanks Simon!

As a huge wine fan I must say that I would try this one just for the label. Pretty sick thing, Simon!

When illustration, type, and color work together like this, it is really something to behold.

Thanks Simon! The reason I asked about this font is b/c I thought it might work for what I am currently working on:
