MNFX is dedicated to realizing design and vision across a wide range of media. Each and every one of our staff are not only problem solvers and builders, but designers in their own right. So whether you have a design you need created, or are looking for original ideas, chances are we can help you!
Each year, local brewery Surly Brewing Co. celebrates the release of their Russian Imperial Stout, “Darkness”, by commissioning a local artist to create new bottle label art. The art is also used for clothing, posters, and advertising. MNFX artist Michael Berglund has created a nightmarish zombie theme for 2011. The bottles and materials become collectors’ items. MNFX also created custom signage for the brewery, and wax stamps for use in decorating the bottles.

At Surly’s request, Michael also has created a custom painted self-portrait for the occasion.
A portrait in the style of 1960's monster movie magazines. Grr!
Watch for “Darkness” in stores–and on Ebay as it becomes a collectible.
Cheers!
