Shangri-la Flower Power
By Carmen Lim
Guinness has launched the Guinness Foreign Extra Stout limited edition series that is available from now till June. It sees its quart bottles and cans beautified with a fun and quirky red tongued dog artwork by local illustrator Ben Qwek. Singapore’s cultural icons that we can easily relate to such as Keong Saik Building, Kueh Tutu and Sir Stamford Raffles have been merged into one. Qwek said, “When I was commissioned to produce this limited edition artwork, I was inspired to create a design that would represent the real Singapore as we know it. I envisioned a design that every Singaporean would identify with, and so created a scene of the things we all fondly recognise and cherish as part of our heritage and everyday lives.”
