In addition to the pet portraits, every now and again other quite big commercial projects come along. The featured illustration is part of a series of twenty commercial illustrations for Murphy's Irish Stout. The illustrations re created and in some cases re invented a complete poster campaign for Murphy's Irish Stout. Spanning from the turn of the twentieth century up to the nineteen seventies. Different media such as watercolour, gouache and ink were used for the posters in order to reproduce the techniques and styles of the past.
Commissioned by Whitbread Pub Partnership in order to create brand awareness and a visually decorative element to their Irish pubs internationally.
All of the posters were aged with creases and tears and in some cases a little dab of cold tea before being sealed in decorative frames.
A fantastic project from start to finish and I would very much like to work on another like this in the future!
