Spooky Bottles
To add some ambiance to our apartment over the Halloween season, my wife and I made some spooky bottles. Spooooooooooky… She filled the bottles with various things (including 2 adorable bottled ghosts) and I made labels for them all. I wanted to age the labels with tea and paint spatter but just ran out of time.
Here are some photos of the two collections along with images of the digital files.
I tried to make the Goblin Drool label as cheesy as possible because I figured goblin’s probably aren’t that great at graphic design. Hence the gimmicky font and random starbursts. The basic shape is dripping lips.
Above is the sangria label that I didn’t get a photo of. The three shadow icons down the middle of the sangria label are a bat, fire and an open mouth with sharp teeth.
On a more personal note, here are a few pictures of my kid’s halloween costume. Since he had no say in the matter, we dressed him as a hipster. below are a few photos. His shirt says “That Thing You Like is Dumb”.
I try to keep this blog here more about art & design. So if you’d like more of a post about his costume click on over to Knights of the Changing Table, where I share my experiences of being a work-at-home dad (along with a few other guys).

Thanks, Vinod! I had a lot of fun doing the labels and cobbling that costume together.
