Boddle-A-Souls
Created in celebration of Rick Smith's wonderful but sadly discontinued comic series "Shuck the Sulfurstar", (viewable in its entirety at www.sulfurstar.com) this bottle depicts the escaped souls who hid out in the supply of bottles intended for Shuck's Fall homebrewing in the issue, "Purgatory Brews". The bottle's title uses the unique and charming phonetic dialogue that Rick used through most of the Shuck series as the images and graphic accents seek to capture Rick's warm, clean graphic style.
Private collection.

Bottles
From Shriners to Schadenfreude, Joe seeks out that which fascinates to preserve and send as messages in bottles. Each is an original oil painting, combining the graphic with the painterly and varnished to a high gloss for durability and depth.
