FLOURLESS + CARIBBEAN AMPHIBIAN | 2022, 2021

Janel Young was one of several artists paired up with a local brewery for beer label artwork to spice up the Barrel + Flow beer festival. The festival (previously known as Fresh Fest) is geared toward amplifying Black brewers + breweries, local musicians + visual artists.

In 2022, Young collaborated with the all-women crew: Necromancer Brewing + Sweet Little Eats. The brewery team was official awarded Food + Drink People of the Year by Pittsburgh City Paper the same year.

The year prior, JY Originals completed her first label with East End Brewing + Black Frog Brewery. The “Caribbean Amphibian” artwork showcased East End’s logo as the sun and immersed the Black Frog logo character into a music-driven island scene.
