To celebrate my friend’s 40th birthday (a craft cocktail connoisseur) I created this “50s-style blueprint” pot still illustration for his home bar. First, I gathered inspiration from a variety of different eras of architectural blueprints and whiskey pot still design. To execute, I used a combination adobe illustrator for the line art and “label” of the pot still and photoshop to add texture, grain and age to the final, printed poster seen below. This was a fun one!
