Matt Brinker is a designer / illustrator / art director based in Dallas, Texas. He is 1/2 of the power duo Magnificent Beard. He loves you (probably).
Dallas brewery Noble Rey approached us to design the initial run of their four flagship beers: Off the Leash, Baracus, Golden Rey and Steampunk.
Our initial vision was to craft an illustrated persona for each brew, but the real estate on cans is slim and Texas beer coolers are overcrowded. So we opted to create an ownable stacking system that creates a full body character when the cans are stacked two tall. These cans are hard to miss when you're browsing the beer cooler...or double fisting.
