In August 2020, Northern Monk Brewery approached me to design a special hazy pale beer label for their “Northern Ink” collaboration, coinciding with my solo exhibition at Oakland Gallery in New Brighton
The label artwork reflects the same bold, vibrant aesthetic of the gallery show—creating a strong visual link between my fine art and a tangible craft product.
Label Design & Creative Concept
The label features my trademark illustrative style—bold linework, dynamic colour palettes, and abstract motifs—that echo themes from my “Making Sense of Nonsense” exhibition. By applying this artwork to a 440 ml can of Northern Monk’s Hazy Pale Ale, I aimed to blend art, place, and flavour into a single immersive experience.
Exhibition & Activation
Launched alongside my solo exhibition at Oakland Gallery, the beer became a creative extension of the show—available at the gallery, local venues, and select Northern Monk stockists. This fusion offered art-lovers and beer enthusiasts alike a chance to enjoy my work in a new, unexpected context.
