Japanese Design Inspiration: Dairy Packaging

 

One of the things I scout for when traveling are retro milk bottles.

You know, I don't even eat much dairy anymore but I'm a sucker for the packaging designs.  Here are some things I particularly love to look for in Japan.

 明治 Meiji Dairy Co. has been around since 1917.

Chichiyasu チチヤス is a dairy company that specializes in all things lactic.

Here are some or their beautiful packaging designs.

 

 

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

森永　Morinaga Co. has a sour yogurt drink called "Mami" that I accidentally put in my cereal once thinking it was milk... 

Morinaga's mascot for a time was Homo-chan ホモちゃん

 

Homo meaning "homogenized" 

 

I'm excited to see what the antique fairs turn up!

Until next time ...

My Favorite Surfers / Howard the Duck #2 Variant cover

by Kilian Eng

by Kirby

by Buscema

In the Howard the Duck #2 variant cover, I was trying to pay homage to this :)

Below are the prelims

 Chip had asked our editor if I'd be interested in doing another silhouette concept, and I really wanted to put some Kirby and Buscema in there.  Hopefully it didn't turn out too wacky. :D

Sorry I haven't been updating as regularly as usual, but I'm trying to get off the computer and enjoy being with friends and family more.  Since most of my work day involves 12 hours of sitting in front of my Cintiq, it's not fun to sit longer and blog or what have you. 

(NOT FINAL ART)

Here is the cover about mid-stage

Out in December 2015!
