Beck's Canvas

Four young artists from the Royal College of Art have been selected to have their art showcased on the labels of over 27 million bottles of beer. From left to right, the winners of Beck's Canvas 2008 are: Tom Price, Charlotte Bracegirdle, Simon Cunningham and Riitta Ikonen. Their artwork will appear on Beck's bottles from 1 August. Having had a friend die of alcoholism, I believe that anything which makes booze more attractive is a bad idea. Brits are presenting with liver damage at much younger ages than ever before, and this now includes young women. Anti-social behaviour fueled by alcohol is rife. Shame on you, RCA.
