I homebrew as a hobby and am creating a beer in honor of my partner's stuffed animal. His name is Erephant, he is an elephant, and he likes to drink. The beer is a Belgian style Tripel called "Erephant's Tripel Tipple"
I am looking for a label for this beer. Ideally, the artwork will be in a form I can scale up to print on an A3 size piece of paper as well.
I would like the label to be an illustration, playful in nature, and potentially adult in theme, the elephant likes to drink after all. He could be swimming in a giant goblet of beer, drunk and collapsed, or something else entirely, as long as there's some implication that he is drinking. Please make sure he resembles the picture. I'd also like there to be some reference to three since the beer is a tripel. Because a tripel is blonde / straw-ish in color, some element of the label should reflect that.
The elephant is lighthearted, we're lighthearted and silly at times, this should be too.
Photo of the Erephant the Elephant is attached, as is the beer label template. Also including part of a Thanksgiving invitation I made with photoshop just in case it sparks anything.

Hi there,
Please be sure any illustration of an Elephant resembles the picture of Erephant.
I've also come across this old national park poster, and I am a fan of the layout: http://prairiemod.typepad.com/prairiemod/images/2007/12/09/picture_2.png
