Siggi Eggertsson






Siggi Eggersson is an Icelandic illustrator now living in London. He has a pretty unique style that has been commissioned by larger clients such as H&M and Coca-Cola (check out that transition from yesterday's post). His work is an interesting contrast of pixel-inspired technique with a distinctively non-RGB color palette.

Reyka Vodka




Reyka Vodka is distilled in Iceland. There are eight shrink-wrapped caps that are applied in corellation to events around the distillery. For example, if a red fox comes onto the grounds of the distillery that day, then the neck label featuring the red fox is applied. If your vodka was distilled during Puffin mating season, then Puffins will appear on the neck label of your bottle. A story is connected to each label that applies a bit of myth to whomever drinks that batch.

"Pack for adventure if you drink from a bottle with a viking boat on it. If anyone named "Leifur" is in the news when we make a batch, we put a ship on each cap. Leifur Erikson was born in the same town of our distillery and sailed to America in a rickety boat. People who drink these batches often run-off with people in not so rickety planes."

The singer/songwriter/actress promoting the Vodka is Hafdis Huld from "GusGus".
