Cartoons drawn on the back of business cards

[Another one of my new Stormhoek wine label designs.]
And of course, we have the secular version, if the US liquor laws object to having the G-word on the label. But as a conversation starter, I think the first one is more powerful.
I'm a cartoonist.
I sell limited-edition prints.
I wrote a book.
I'm CEO of Stormhoek USA, which markets South African wine in the States.
I also draw private commissions.

These two are beautiful. Thanks Hugh. I’ve always found the two words pretty much interchangeable anyway — ‘God is love’, ‘Life is love’. Means the same really. Thanks.
Agreed, and it will also start boycotts and demos.
Beautiful. Stormhoek is going to have the best labels in any product ever.
*Loved* these labels as well.
I really like them both but I agree with you, Hugh, the first is the more powerful one.
LOVE the labels. Especially the God in small places one.
good idea on the secular version, especially since god and the bible are totally anti-wine tea-totalers
I love this. Not just wine, but wine transformed into an experience!
yeah, i kind of think there’s something to having them side by side, actually.
it’s interesting to think about what the difference is.
i haven’t been by in a while and i read about stormhoek being available in the us, and my immediate reaction was “woohoo!”, but then i remembered that i’m in the uk for the next few months, so i had to change my tune to something more like: “why haven’t i bought any yet?!”
so i’ll be sure to write something about how i like it.
i would just want a very small wine glass to go with this label.
like a communion-cup deal.
