Professor Knopphauser’s Chilli Sauce Labels
Labels for Justin Knopp's (Typoretum) home-made chilli sauces. Ever since I know Justin, I am a huge admirer of his typographic laboratory and chilli garden. So when he asked me to design the labels of his annual chilli sauces I thought, this will be the perfect opportunity to draw limitless details, hidden puzzles and wicked characters, which will perfectly fit Professor Knopphauser's laboratory!

The label is depicting the making of the chilli sauces, on which occasion, skeletons and devilish creatures are gathered in the dungeons of Typoretum. In the background of this diabolic kitchen, there are objects, posters and instruments, which are related to Justin in a way or another. Sadly, this illustration, however true it may seem is not an accurate interpretation of the cooking process, so put down the torches and pitchforks guys!

For the finished illustration Justin has chosen colours to match the sauces perfectly, then he letterpress printed them on his Gietz Hand Feeder. The label cropped size is 145×85mm.
