Whilst Martin, James and Bracken are busy making beer, selling beer and eating biscuits (respectively) they asked me to get my sketchbooks out and have a go at designing some alternative BrewDog t-shirts. You can see the original options here.
The alternative BrewDog T-shirt collection features 2 designs, available in black on white or white on black (ladies: I’ll have a little word with the boss and see if we can have some girls’ tees printed too). Each design was delicately drawn by hand in pen and ink, with a little bottle of Punk IPA as liquid inspiration.
First up is HopSkull – an intricately inked skull of hops, surrounded by gothic flourishes, spider’s webs and rambling foliage. It’s dark, a little scary but with a strangely enchanting beauty.
PictoPunk takes inspiration from tattoo art and graffiti; a stenciled bottle of Punk IPA is entwined in barbed wire and chains, surrounded by BrewDog-esque paraphernalia – all delicately hand penned in muted shades of grey, interrupted by splashes of BrewDog blue.
So what do you think? Yes? No? Maybe? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts – they are your t-shirts, you help decide!
I’ve also been working with BrewDog’s favourite photographer David Branfield on a collaboration piece, using some of my hand drawn illustrations overlaid over his super cool photos (click here to see behind the scenes of David’s most recent BrewDog photoshoot) The David v Johanna Mash-up combines slick photography with delicate hand penned ink, ripe for a little BrewDog fly poster action…
In the meantime you can get your paws on one of 3 rather cool Dog Desktops featuring the PictoPunk design in a black or white background or the David v Johanna Mash-up – perfect for pledging you allegiance and pimping your desktop. Click the links below to download your own little piece of the Dog.

- Im a big fan of your work, Joanna. I LOVE the hop skull. Damien Hirst eat your heart out! It is amazing. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
I would like girly tees as well, but often girly tees can run REALLY small and sometimes places only offer the one size small. L/XL girly size please, if possible! Ally11.02.2010

Could you design one for Paradox too please? :) Liz10.02.2010
