Now, did you put that together from Clip Art and Photoshop it, or did you draw that one yourself? It's a great piece of work either way.
Thanks everyone for the comments, I had fun making that one. (both the beer and the label)

Ever since I was in school, there was that particular image of Christ as Pantocrator that always struck me as haunting. That particular original is a mosaic in a church circa ~1100 by Greek artist Meister von Daphni. I found a really nice large photo of it online and used Adobe Illustrator to trace out the image in vector format. I used the preset color palate "Byzantine" for most of the colors, the font choice and text was my doing.

The "what would Jesus brew?" quote comes from a shirt I saw at my local homebrew store. The shirt was just the quote, but I figured some imagery was needed.
