Mouth and Foot Painting Artists [Member] Dennis A. Francesconi creates a brand image for Lunada Cellars and increases awareness of the AMFPA at the same time.
“Lunada is unique to me for many reasons,” says Dennis. “Some of which are; it’s the very first time that I’ve had the honor of seeing my work on an actual [wine label]. It’s also a [first] for any North American AMFPA Artist. Moreover, I was given the opportunity to design the entire label [front & back] which was very rewarding to see.
In addition to my involvement bringing the Lunada brand some worthy attention, all labels carry an acknowledgement of my association with the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, Worldwide. This clearly benefits everyone.
Lastly, I want to thank Winemakers Ken Post & John Sotelo for taking us through the process of winemaking. It was quite interesting,— and an important part of this endeavor.”
