I was very excited when my old classmate from SVA, Fabrizio LaRocca, asked me to illustrate this cocktail book by Erica Duecy.

Creating the collages from old liquor labels and other period scraps was a lot of fun, and on top of that I got to photograph (and taste) all the 40 cocktails.

The book is now out of print, but I still have a bunch, should anyone be interested...

Book design by Chie Ushio.

Here is a story by Steven Heller in Print Magazine about these collages.
