The second part of my set of cocktail illustrations. After the Zombie, Hurricane and Scorpion Bowl, I thought I'd pay tribute to the boozy delights of the Blue Hawaiian, Dirty martini, Suffering Bastard and Headhunter. Most of these weird and wonderful concoctions were at the height of their popularity between the 40's and 60's, which suits my style perfectly. Keeping a different, defined colour scheme for each one, and arranging the elements around a central vessel keeps the set unified. This set of prints was turned into a hardbound, boxed recipe book, complete with 3D diorama under a clear window at the bottom of the box. Unfortunately, this one-off sold at the Leicester City Gallery open exhibition and I didn't even take a photo of it. If you bought it, get in touch, I want pictures!
