Cream Liqueur

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Luxury Cream Liqueur with Added Bastardry

A reassuringly premium cream liqueur bottle combining familiar luxury branding, indulgent after-dinner appeal and an entirely unnecessary amount of swearing.

Bastard Arsehole takes the conventions of premium cream liqueur packaging and pushes them somewhere considerably less suitable for a drinks cabinet.

Origin Notes

Pastry breasts being modelled and painted
I spent an afternoon in my conservatory modelling and painting boobs out of pastry.
Pastry breast photographs before retouching
I made far more boobs than would ever be seen in the final product. The paint cracked quickly, so the photographs needed some post-production.
Drawing pins used as areolas
Most of the areolas were drawing pins.
Themed details on the Liqueur packaging
There should always be some sort of themed twist on what was there before.
Boob-themed logo and kettle details
The brand logo became a sort of boob-tube shape, while the kettle was rebuilt as a pair of semicircular breasts.
Additional breast-themed packaging details
Tits! Everywhere.

Notes

This was the first product I took to a supermarket to photograph on the shelf. Taking it out of a bag was fine. Putting it back looked considerably more like shoplifting.
