Some Drinks are for Mommys and Daddys
My self and creative writer, Jordan Gabriel, decided over a few beers one evening it would be interesting to create a children’s book for parents. A few beers in we formed an experimental creative team dubbed Young Corruptibles and a book called Some Drinks are for Mommys and Daddys – a light-hearted attempt at a “badass” children’s book. With full creative freedom we had a blast dreaming up the various characters and rhyming couplets. Below are a few examples of the various character illustrations.
Book Cover
We printed a few prototypes and handed them out to our circles for feedback. Most appreciated it’s ridiculousness 😀

Tattoo Dad
Some drinks help Daddy when it’s time to schnooze. Others lead to adventures like piercings and tattoos.

Nerdy Mom
Some drinks help digest; Mommy calls aperitif. Sometimes they end quickly; she calls them quite brief.

The Full Cast
All of the various parents, in no particular order!

COLOUR
We thought it would be fun and fitting to use a very bold and clashing colour palette.
