Dry Bite
PACKAGING | BRANDING | MIXED MEDIA
Dry Bite is a Las Vegas hot sauce brand built on the idea that heat can exist without harm. Using anti-inflammatory friendly formulations, it creates sauces that let people with pre-existing conditions enjoy spice without the usual repercussions. Inspired by the desert term “dry bite” meaning a strike with no venom, the brand delivers heat without the hurt. Linocut printmaking and mixed-media illustrations give the identity a handmade, natural feel that reflects its thoughtful approach to bold, balanced flavor.
The illustrations throughout the Dry Bite brand were created through a hands-on linocut process that emphasizes texture and authenticity. Each image was first hand drawn, then vectorized and arranged into label compositions. From there, every design was individually hand carved into linoleum blocks, inked, and stamped by hand. The final prints were then scanned back in and used to replace the original vectors, preserving the raw detail and tactile character of true printmaking across the brand.
