Hasta La Ideas

The Inkygoodness Beermat Characters show presents the work of 80 imagemeakers who were challenged to transform a humble beermat into an illustrated character

Inkygoodness invited submissionsto the project via its website. While some (such as Michael Slack, shown top) stuck to the confines of the format, others (hello, El Tobe, above) have pushed things a little further.

Below is a design from Mayumi Haryoto

While this one is from Rinske Zijsling

And this pair from Mr Penfold
