CrossHatch Label

CrossHatch Texture 2018

June 20, 2022 · By: Krista Harris

Edible Santa Barbara Wine Label Artwork Contest

—Best Illustration—

Illustration by Thomas Van Stein.

Judges really appreciated the clever play on words that this beautiful drawing conveyed. They also complimented the appropriate use of the quill-style typeface and the distinctive deckled edge.

Owner and winemaker Ryan Carr said the labels were inspired by the antique winemaking equipment he and his dad have collected over the years. Local Santa Barbara artist Thomas Van Stein used the crosshatch technique to draw the image of the barrels. And the wine in this bottle is made using two of the most “textural” grape varietals: Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Many thanks to our judges: Harriet Eckstein, Jennifer LeMay and Michael Nicola.
