Crooked Mile Brewing Company Craft Beer Labels: Black Dog. Art direction, design, and illustration for a microbrewery in Almonte, Ontario. Crooked Mile commissioned me to create illustrations for each of their flagship beers based on vistas the owners fell in love with during a walking tour in the UK. Black Dog is a Dry Stout and shows a mysterious dog appearing out of the mists and fog of the dark eerie moorside.
