Artist's Comments

Taken from wikipedia: "Guinness's iconic stature is partly due to its advertising. The most notable and recognisable series of adverts was created by Benson's advertising, primarily drawn by the artist John Gilroy, in the 1930s and 40s. "

The famous Guinness ads were nice and innocent drawings that featured mostly animals (like the iconic toucan) or typical middle class men, accompanied by short catch-phrases like "My Goodness, My Guinness!" or "Lovely Day For a Guinness"
I decided to add a little spice to the old Guinness ads with this retro American style pin up homage to my favorite Irish Beer =)


Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in purchasing a print of this ad?

Nice work. Very vintage-retro.

the only suggestion i can even think of making,
is that the bottom of the glass isn't entirely round and kinda flattens out weirdly
but otherwise this is quite an effective ad,
in my opinion :D

Oh crap, I see what you mean. I can't believe I didn't see that one.
It's like in those "Where's Waldo?" games where you can't find the guy, but after you do, you can't help but notice him even in the quickest glance.

Is the ad effective enough that you would join me for an imaginary pint
in some imaginary haven?

:roll:

hehe, well when i start tattooing,
and making $100+ a pop,
then of course I'd want one :p
and that is not some imaginary heaven,
it should be within young 2008 :D

I flipped through your gallery, you did some awesome pieces. I wouldn't mind getting one of those engraved on me body.
Good luck, I hope you'll make it in the tat biz...
Then I'll invite you for an actual pint of Guinness ;)
