Lewis Ryan’s illustration for the Abbeydale Brewery and Brew York collaboration series serves as both a standalone scene and a vital component of a larger puzzle. Designed for craft beer packaging, the work utilizes a landscape orientation to depict a world where sci-fi elements and fantasy literature collide. The composition relies on a deliberate play of light and shadow, grounding its fantastical elements in a textured reality that hints at abandoned urban spaces reclaimed by magic.

This specific label is one of six that, when collected and joined together, reveal a singular, expansive illustration. By treating the beer label as a canvas for a larger narrative, Ryan encourages a sense of discovery and physical interaction. The artwork draws on geek and horror aesthetics, populating its fictional worlds with historical artifacts and mysterious entities that suggest a power unlock waiting to be discovered by those who complete the set.
