I'm hoping this is not objectionable material. If it is, let me know and I'll remove it.
My wife and I just moved into a new house that contains a full bar (gotta love the housing market today...). My wife is an up and coming "beer snob," being trained by one of our good friends. By beer snob, I mean she takes pride in tasting obscure domestic and foreign lagers, ales, and other such nonsense.
I, myself, am partial to bourbons, specifically sour mashes, and have long been a shooter of Jack Daniel. (My dog's name is Whiskey Jack). Though I have just begun to enter the world of Scotch (I'm partial to the smokey and strong biting flavor of Talisker but will not push away a Caol Ila or even the softer Macallan), I will always hold Jack as my favorite (Black Label for friends, Single Barrel for dear friends).
My wife has found a real nice wood carving that states, "Beer! Proof that God loves us!" and, as a devout Methodist, sincerely agrees with this sentiment. That got me searching for something to put up in our bar heralding my sentiment for Jack Daniel's Whiskey. However, as always seems the case (and is the very reason why I bought Elements in the first place) I have found nothing to my liking and began to put together my own bar poster.
I have blatantly stolen a Russian Jack Daniel Ad and placed my own text. The picture is set to be printed at a ratio of 8.25" by 12.25" to allow for an 8x12 mat in a 12x16 frame. The frame is a simple rectangular black and the mat is a double black with simple white bevels. Though I stay away from black on black in my color schemes, I think it will look good in the bar.
I wanted to thank the community here for helping me out in the past. I have rarely put in my input to others and hope to do so more often in the future. Hopefully you'll like the poster. I created it for my own private purposes and share it to you all as friends, so there shouldn't be any issue copyright wise (I've kept all the copyright material in the picture to make it look more authentic).
You'll notice that my last name is Daniel, so the text has a specific reference to my family :) Enjoy.

The original Russian Ad. (Can't speak Russian, if anyone knows what it says, let me know ;)

I've yet to decide whether I want to say "Here's to our brother" at the bottom or "Here's to our uncle." As many people ask if Jack was my distant uncle. Let me know what you think.
