Here are just 2 of the new beer clip and label designs from this month's output.

These 2 are poles apart - almost literally. One for traditional cask beer market in the heart of the Uk. The other down under in the fast growing craft beer arena of New Zealand.

The ever inventive Golden Eagle Brewery always seem to catch the flavour of the moment with their delicious new brews. This is not first hand experience unfortunately, but garnered from the many favourable comments on beer drinking social networks such as Untappd.

Next up in the blog I'll be able to reveal the fun project that I've been working on for the last 12 months. All is about to be published and revealed. Watch this space.

A Happy New Year to you all, bit late I know. The year did kick off with a busy few weeks of work, and again, none of which I can post as yet.

But I also produced quite a few beer clips and labels for one brewery or another, and here are two of the ones that are not embargoed at the moment.

One of my new years' resolutions was to bake more bread, that's already ticked and done and I'm onto my 7th loaf today.

Other, none specific promises to myself, are to finally get my last 2 picture books completely finished and off to some publishers, or agents maybe.

Another couple of micro breweries joined the Hot Frog brewing portfolio last month. He's one of them, the exciting sounding Broxbourne Brewery - home of the crafty badger!

I tried out several run of the mill - almost cliched, ideas to get the creative juices rolling. I wasn't getting anywhere meaningful but it's often useful to exorcise the banal from the equation in this way, before you can 'see through' to the more promising ideas.

Then I had this vision of the the Moretti beer label with the old guy blowing the froth off his fresh glass of beer. I coupled this with a cheeky badger and sketched out the character and hey presto, Brox, the crafty badger was born.

Broxbourne and their sister brewery have some very strong ales in their repertoire and here's hoping we'll have a long and fruitful future together. Cheers to that.
