I like to do labels for my ciders, and I like to base them on film poster from the Spanish film maker Luis Bunuel :)

Love it! Highly likely I'd buy this if I saw it on a shelf just because of the label!

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cheers :) It's "stolen" art of course, I could not use this for anything commercial I am sure. But when it's just for me and my friends this is the way I prefer to do it.

It's still awesome, stolen or not :) I do love the idea of using movie poster - style graphics as wine or cider labels, I think it's a great match.

Thank you :) Yes, there's so much interesting art out there in poster format which works well as labels. I did one based on The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie as well, and one based on Belle de Jour (also with Belle de Boskoop apples, of course).

[–] doctortofu@reddthat.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Do you have pictures of those too? I'd love to see them!

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 6 points 6 months ago

This one is the Belle de Jour. It's basically the film poster, or one of the film posters from this film. I like it because it's 100% belle de boskoop juice, so that sort of works, right?

You brightened my brew day.

I am too lazy to make labels, so I sometimes drink some surprise beer or cider.

Un Cidre Andalou?

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That would be fun, but do they do sidra in Andalusia? I was under the impression Spanish cider is more or less Asturian or nothing.

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

I don't believe so. People may produce it for personal consumption at lower elevations of the Sierra Nevada.

I just liked the name, and it made me think of the Pixies song 'Debaser' about Un Chien Andalou which has the line 'slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know' which easily goes to 'slicing up apples, I want you to know'

i feel like the thread doesn't look like it's pulling on the lips at all... like, the lips should be slightly deformed from having thread squeezing them shut...
