Gadianton Brewing Company (mleiv.com)
Medium: Illustrator Size: N/A

Est. 5000 BC, Cain Adamson, Proprietor.

Hosanna Stout (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pencil/Illustrator Size: 14X17"

This was printed on glasses in 2001. The two figures are Gayle Ruzicka, head of the Utah Eagle Forum, and Gordon Hinkley, President of the Mormon church. The church had just released a statement prohibiting tatoos and body piercings.

Deseret Honey Mead (back) (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pencil/Photoshop Size: 8X11"

The back of the label with the alphabet key used as a border. This was a fabulous brew which unfortunately exploded on bottling and we lost our last intact bottle when our apartment burned down.

Deseret Honey Mead (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pencil/Photoshop Size: 8X11"

The front of my mead label. It is all written in the Deseret Alphabet (invented by Brigham Young). The imagery is taken from Plan 10 From Outer Space.

Laman and Lemuel's Not-So Pale Ale (mleiv.com)
Medium: Illustrator Size: 8X11"

One of my more popular recent labels for a darker-than-average pale ale. The allusion of course to Nephi's association between evil and dark skin, especially in refence to his two meanie brothers and their descendants.

Pay Lay Ale (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pen Size: 14X17"

This was done entirely by hand. It was my first beer label, but rapidly become my most popular. It has been printed twice on glasses and has spread across the web. The whole thing is an offensive jab at sacred Mormon ritual.

Forbidden Fruits Crest (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pencil/Photoshop Size: 8X11"

I consider this my best work to date. I finished the crest in 1998 but didn't finish the label until late 2000, and then still wasn't satisfied with the end product. It's too fabulous a design to be used in anything other than a perfect label.

Walking Serpent Cider (mleiv.com)
Medium: Illustrator Size: N/A

A Christmas cider. The Garden of Eden reference was a bit trite, but still funny. And I like the apple tree. The cider, of course, was horrible.

The Amber Light of Christ (mleiv.com)
Medium: Illustrator Size: N/A

I found a particular Christian painting of Jesus absolutely irresistable for this spoof. The center motif turned out so well I hardly dare take credit... Divine Inspiration or no?

Not For The Belly Brown (mleiv.com)
Medium: Illustrator Size: N/A

A homebrew label design sketched first on paper, then scanned and manually traced in Illustrator. It was so good we had to make a second batch.
