Maggot Brain

October 29'th, 2017

Named after the song by Funkadelic, this artwork was featured on the label design of one of my Hopsylvania beers. Autumn colors have always brought out the beauty of decay in such an intense and sometimes surreal way. Influenced by the changing seasons, I went with this as the theme for my beer label and choose the ram skull as a symbol of how even the strongest of us will not withstand the test of time. Devoured by maggots, it now just rests on dying hops bines, reminiscent of the beer’s hoppy aroma.
