Revolver IPA

There wasn't much artistic direction from John and Whitney when it came to my last two illustrations for City Star Brewing. They were Revolver and 6-Shooter...both named after firearms and thus in danger of perhaps becoming interchangeable. For this reason, I had drafted out two vastly different concepts, one light and one dark. An old illustration of mine called "Ghost Town Ale", featuring a skeleton cowboy, was the reason City Star Brewing sought me out in the first place, so I sensed they wanted something a bit dark and brooding. Boy, was I right! From initial concept, this moody piece was sure to be a winner for John and Whitney. Revolver just sounded scarier than 6-Shooter, so it got the dark and scary treatment.
