Iron Shoe Kumis

Because horse shoes!

Kumis is a beverage widely possible in central Asia, primarily Mongolia. The goal of this project was to market this strange, exotic drink to an American audience. It's mildly alcoholic, slightly sour, and made from fermented horse milk. I hear it's delicious. I mean, look at these bottles. They look all kinds of delicious.

Because I have very little experince in milking horses, I used glue, water, and food dye for this photograph. Which - conveniently - means it's still technically a horse product.
Horse milk! Now available in horse milk flavor!

The remarkable taste of kumis shines brightly through in this original, unflavored variety of our classic Iron Shoe Kumis. With no flavor additives, the light body and slight sour tang are more apparent in our original variety than with any other flavor on the market today.

  

Sourced from Rainier cherries, the all-natural flavors that go into this sweet and tart variety of Iron Shoe Kumis compliment any palette. The cherry sours mix with the natural sours of kumis to bring you this bold and refreshing twist on a classic beverage.

 

Just like the fermented horse milk your grandma used to brew, this delicious variety of Iron Shoe Kumis incorporates local Kansas City grown and organically sourced blueberries to bring you back to the lazy summer afternoons of your youth.

 

Natural honeydew extract and top quality Iron Shoe Kumis come together in this delicious and refreshing beverage. The subtle sweetness of honeydew compliments the natural tartness of kumis to satisfy your thirst.

Rainbow Bradbury

(I am so sorry for that title.)




I made a thing! More specifically, I made a series of things. Even more specifically, I made a series of three posters featuring inspirational quotes from science fiction writer Ray Bradbury. And look! They line up all fancy-like!

 Zigs!Zags!Zips!

The goal was to give it a 70's futurist feeling, and to that end I took heavy inspirational draws from early Atari ads. It's simple, but I'm fond of the effect.
