RAPPED UP IN BERNARD MAISNER

Bernard Maisner, internationally renowned for his hand-lettering work, recently illustrated the case for the Samuel Adams IPA Hop-Ology variety pack, drawing in chalk. Although the labels on the beer bottles were done in an entirely different medium, Bernard was able to create a cohesive package that harmonizes beautifully. Coincidentally, the variety pack was a collaboration between the talented folks at Boston Beer, Bernard Maisner, and Dahl Taylor, an artist from our affiliate, Mendola Artists, who is responsible for the extraordinary label illustrations.

FROM CONCEPT TO TOTE

It was a no-brainer to call on Eva Vazquez, Bob Staake, and Shaw Nielsen to produce illustrations so appealing you'd want to wear them on your shoulder. It has been exciting to watch the artwork of these three diverse illustrators go from concept to tote bag in such a short time! Each bag is adorned with a vintage-inspired hang tag designed by John Pirman. We'd love to hear your feedback, so don't be shy, send an e-mail to
mandi@rappart.com and let us know what you think!

YUTA ONODA: FANTASY & REALITY

 

 This original illustration was created by Yuta Onoda for the cover of David Ward's new fantasy thriller, 

 "Between Two Ends"

The book is due to go on sale May 1, 2011. 

About the Book:

When Yeats and his parents visit his grandmother's creepy old house, Yeats reunites a pair of pirate bookends and uncovers the amazing truth: Years ago, Yeats's father traveled into The Arabian Nights with a friend, and the friend, Shari, is still stuck in the tales. Assisted by the not-always-trustworthy pirates, Yeats must navigate the unfamiliar world of the story of Shaharazad--dodging guards and tigers and the dangerous things that lurk in the margins of the stories--in order to save Shari and bring peace to his family.
