From doodle to bottle, 2010 to 2015

Wombat Evolution

Every legend starts somewhere. Mine started on a napkin.

Nineteen drawings over five years: pencil sketches, colour sketches, the first label for Wild Wombat Australian Vodka, and finally the Wild Wombat Australian Legend label on every bottle today.
