Custom hand-drawn illustration created for Snow Ride Nordic Pilsner, a collaborative beer release by Portage Brewing Company and Otso Cycles.

Inspired by winter cycling and the forests of Minnesota, the artwork was featured on the beer's packaging.

A single-ink forest pattern wraps well on a can because there's no focal point to get lost across the seam. Did you have to thicken the linework once it went to print, or did the fine detail hold up on the aluminum?

New case on the profile: 3 Pokemon cards rebuilt as interactive Rive Animation

The brief we gave ourselves was simple. Catch that feeling of tilting a holo card, just on a screen.

So the eyes follow your cursor, every card has three moves, and the background switches between idle and action. There’s a pack to open and a randomizer that deals you a card.

Have a look at how it all came together 👇

The [color/finish/type detail] is what makes this feel premium on a shelf. What's the product inside? Curious if the back of the pack has the same look.
