To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Blue Moon Brewing Co. worked with 20 up-and-coming artists to create limited edition labels for their Belgian White. Lakewood’s own Brian Andrew Jasinski of Grey Cardigan is amongst the 20 artists that are featured in the limited edition pack, available in stores now. Jasinski was chosen via an expansive search that began in late 2014, and made it through several rounds to ultimately become one of the artists whose design was produced on bottles of Blue Moon nationwide.



“To be chosen to be a part of this program has been incredibly exciting, and the thrill of having people from across the country share images of finding my label has been surreal and simply fun. It is like a modern day Golden Ticket. It is truly an honor to be involved in what I consider a traveling exhibition of sorts. Every 12-pack of Blue Moon is its own curated art exhibition!”, says Jasinski.



The program and the labels were revealed to the media on July 1 in an exclusive gallery event in New York City. Each artist’s creation was on display in the gallery, along with the bottles the artwork appears on. The top 20 labels are featured on Blue Moon’s Facebook page in a gallery, and votes are cast by “liking” the artist’s image within the gallery. The 10 artists that are chosen by the public with the most votes, will then be considered for a grant of $20,000 by Blue Moon Brewing Co. to further explore their creativity. Jasinski has maintained the Top 10 since the program has launched, and looks forward to keeping the votes steadily growing, as the final days of the competition commence. Public voting for the program ends on Monday, August 31, 2015.



Jasinski is a graphic designer and illustrator, who is active in the local art community. He participates in shows such as the Cleveland Flea and Last Minute Market, and is carried in local shoppes including CLE Clothing Co. and Banyan Tree. He has exhibited in the Lakewood Arts Festival for the past 5 years, which he is currently serves as a board member. Jasinski works a product designer for the Special Features team with American Greetings.
