Dogfish Art
Type: Tangents
We love original artwork here at Dogfish Head... from our ads, to our beer labels, we have a lot of fun working with artists to come up with a great look!
We sometimes don't look very far to come up with our art... In-house artists include Founder/President Sam Calagione (who is responsible for the artwork on the bulk of our labels, our Festina Lente label, and lots of the art you see in our ads), Lead Brewer Bryan Selders (he made the label for Pangaea and the covers of the two Pain Relievaz albums), and Bryan's wife Ali Selders (who is our in-house screenprinter and does our Noneons).
Our series of Limited Release 4-packs of beer (Immort Ale, Burton Baton, Olde School Barleywine and Raison D'Extra) feature original art by artist Jon Langford. Not only is Jon a great musician (founding member of legendary British rock band the Mekons and also a member of the Chicago band the Waco Brothers), but he also is known for his unique "multi-layered paintings which take imagry from old country music publicity photos and sheet music and envelop them in a haze of ironic nostalgia" - thanks to YardDog.com for the help there - check our their site to purchase your own Jon Langford!
If the bold design of our Fort label catches your yet, props should go to graphic artist Tara McPherson. Tara is a painter, poster artist and freelance illustrator based out of New York City. Creating art about people and their odd ways, her characters seem to exude an idealized innocence with a glimpse of hard earned wisdom in their eyes. Recalling many issues from childhood and good old life experience, she creates images that are thought provoking and seducing. People and their relationships are a central theme throughout her work. Tara's array of art includes painted covers for DC Vertigo Comics, advertising and editorial illustrations for companies such as Fanta and Spin Magazine, and numerous gig posters for rock bands such as Green Day, Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie - and of course, Dogfish Head! Tara also exhibits her paintings and prints in fine art galleries all over ther world.
