Ryan Hughes: Strategy & Creative Development
When I was in college, I lived with a couple of other guys and together, we discovered that we shared a great love of beer. Naturally this ended up - like most college places - dictating our decorating style. Beer signs pilfered from bars we worked at, neon light advertisements, and of course, the bottle cap and resin coffee table. It was during the construction of said table that I realized I could use the bottle caps as the basis to make a pattern, or with a bit more patience an honest-to-goodness picture. But as the years went by, and I got more serious about actually studying these plans were left by the wayside.
I never stopped saving my bottle caps though, so fifteen years later when I had boxes and boxes of them, I decided it was either time to do something with them, or get rid of them all together, and so the Pour One Out collection was born.
Iconic portraits of the late musicians who’ve inspired me. Created with nothing but bottle caps, hot glue, color theory and patience.
