asakiyumeFor sheer magnificence, nothing beats the art on this limited-edition (celebrating the brand's fortieth anniversary) can of Medalla beer. We had some on our trip to Puerto Rico and brought two empty cans back with us (but the photo below is not mine; all photos were swiped randomly off the internet). The artist is Alexis Díaz:
This can is just one in a series. About the series, Díaz says, "All the designs were made inspired by Puerto Rico, by its people and all that we are as Puerto Ricans. By the tenacity we have to fight for our homeland, by the icons that represent us, which in this case would be the Puerto Rican jíbaro [peasant farmer], the countryside, the beach, the dance, the maga flower."

Here's the whole series:
How about that octopus woman dancer!!
And I love this hummingbird with a halo:
In this 30-second ad you can see the designs semi-animated, and this 4-minute video shows you lots of examples of Alexis Días's art. He's mainly a muralist, and he's done murals all over the world.
