Tenth anniversary poster for Tales of the Cocktail 2012.

Done in a Belle Epoque style to be in keeping with the design theme of the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans, the headquarters of the Tales event, I was trying to convey a feeling of things that stand the test of time, things that age well. I also used imagery and colors of things that relate to tenth anniversaries.
