Best Little wine & books
I developed the illustrated branding and event identities for Best Little Wine & Books in Lockhart, Texas. The project focused on creating high-energy, character-driven designs for key community milestones, including the inaugural Texas Monthly BBQ Fest, Lambrusco Fest, and the Chicken ‘n Chilly’s Chili Cookoff. These assets were applied across a diverse range of deliverables, including promotional posters, limited-edition apparel, and specialty merchandise.
Limited Edition BBQ Fest Shirt
I designed this commemorative shirt for the first ever Texas Monthly BBQ Fest in Lockhart. The illustration features the shop’s official mascot, a dog named Chicken, manning a grill with a glass of wine. This piece was created to celebrate the intersection of local BBQ culture and the wine bar's friendly atmosphere.
Lambrusco Fest
I developed the event branding for a week-long celebration of Italian sparkling red wine at Best Little Wine & Books. This project included a promotional poster featuring custom line art of a Lambrusco bottle and a souvenir t-shirt designed with a bold, retro-style typographic layout.
Brand Guidelines
I created the branding for the wine bar’s second annual chili competition and charity fundraiser. The project focused on custom character design used for digital promotion and physical merchandise, including screen-printed trucker hats and specialty "Grand Champion" embroidered patches for the winners' custom aprons.
