Just finished up the latest label for my home brewin' buddy. Unfortunately there is a story that goes along with this illustration. My friend Chris had a run in with a lawn mower and severely injured his hand, loosing three fingers. To make matters worse he is a musician and music teacher.
He has a strong spirit however and has already bought a left handed guitar and probably staving off alzheimer's by forcing his brain to relearn the skill as a south paw.

What a crazy story. Really like the 'rawness' in the hands. Reminds me more of old Polish film covers than Jon Contino's work. Nicely done!
