Here's my submission for the FOURTY show next Friday. Because I'm a crappy painter, I decided to cheat and go digital. I came up with a label idea, drew a couple character sketches (top left), and did the whole thing up in Flash (top right).

Then, I printed my label on some sticky photo paper and slapped it down on a big bottle of Olde English "800". It looked pretty swell, but something was missing! My lovely wife with her keen eye suggested a mini 60s style lampshade. Because I'm a bit of a moron I scoffed and thought 'ha! I don't think soooo'. Then she described what she meant and I was sold. We bought the materials, she made the shade and voila! a retro stylin' malt liquor lamp fit for Mr. Drunkard's late night binges!
