Vintage Pabst Blue Ribbon Crate by Jeffro Kilpatrick

I finally got a chance to get these photos and scans up on the web here. I finished the Pabst Blue Ribbon vintage crate a couple weeks back. Thanks to my buddy Gravy for his patience and Pabst's generosity for all the sponsorship they've given me and the Philly Cartoonist Society over the years. I drew all the images on sticker paper, inked them with waterproof Micron pens, then colored them with waterproof markers, like Prismacolors. I also used some white colored pencil for highlights. Then I cut out the shapes with an razor and stuck the pieces to various sides of the crate. Then I used waterproof ink for the "Pabst" lettering on the top of the crate and the ink coming from the pen of the "Jeff" cartoon. Thanks to Joannie for challenging me to be a little more careful with the ink and not settle for laziness. When I was finished laying it out, I sealed the whole crate with about five coats of high gloss acrylic polyurethane. Since the sealant was water-based, I had to use all waterproof materials on the initial drawings. I used the water-based so it didn't yellow the sticker paper. Anyways, below are the final scans and then photos of how they look on the crate. Now I just have to get it back to Pabst...

PBR Art Contest

So I entered that PBR Art Contest back in January with the hopes to win some cash and free beer. Turns out things have been going quite well for yours truly! I still don't know the results of the contest, I think it's still up in the air. But they did contact me to use my work for advertising, while giving me a chunk of change and allowing me to continue to be in the running. So I got a phone call yesterday from a friend saying they saw my billboard. My reaction: "WHAT?! A BILLBOARD?!" No clue that PBR did this, but totally love it! So here it is!
Not sure if there are more around, I just know on 76 West University City Exit.
