Ideas, ideas everywhere... *suddenly realises he needs to buy another sketchbook*

I had something bum me out a little bit today. Nobody’s fault but it is what it is. So I decided to draw this up. I’m ready for fall and fall beers! I love to sit out under the moon once the temperature drops a bit and have some marzen lagers and other fall drinks. I felt like this captured the moment perfectly. I am excited for music fest in @havertownlife havertown tomorrow. I heard @levantebrewing will be pouring at brick and brew so I’ll be there sucking back some suds. I’m glad I forced myself to learn #adobeillustrator I’ve come a long way. Since then I have been able to help other artists that don’t use Illustrator or vectors and I am pretty proud of that, because when I was in their place it always felt like a huge struggle.

I really liked the style that I used for one of the most recent labels I did for @abominationbrewingco and @snitzcreekbrewery so I decided to mess with it a bit more. Just a quick thing. I want to draw more animals in this style. This is for me, and my wife, and my daughter. Stay strong. This is for everyone. This is for you. Stay strong. No matter what you do on a day to day basis or what you go through. You are a strong person.

A little thanks to the works of Ariel Pink for this one. If you’re anything like I am, grooves like his always get you through your creative process

Drawn with a Sailor/Wancher Turquoise 1911L. The M nib on this pen comes to a sharp point which allows for some line variation not from flex but based on how deep the firm nib digs into the watercolor paper. The Noodlers Black ink is a little dry and that contributes to this effect.

I drew, I collaged, I pasted and just arted in general. Times are good!

I wrote some words, cut them up and rearranged them. What else is new?

Crafted with some assistance from the Blackout Poetry Generator, developed by Max Kreminski.

It's starting to feel a little bit fall-like around here so I'm playing with some new colors.

Something spontaneous(ish), as usual.

I've always been afraid to draw butterflies. Not scared anymore.✨

drawing some bugs today.

Label I made for Wallenpaupack Brewing Company! Soo tasty!

Can artwork I did for Conshohocken Brewing Companys annual release Blood Money! A Blood Orange IPA! Soon tasty!

I helped create the Island in the Sun can for Conshohocken Brewing Company a couple years back. They release it every year in the summer and I drew this up to celebrate the re-release this year!

Label I worked on for Wallenpaupack Brewing Company for 4th of July can release! (not my photo though, found the photo on Instagram)

I've been playing around with this different colors on this floral pattern.

This is my final project from week 3 of Explore Florals with Victoria Johnson.

I try to keep vulgarity out of my work, but sometimes it just fits. This is one of those times.

Loving working with these itty bitties!

Little watercolor horses, they were fun to draw and paint and each seems to have it's own personality. Some look a little too much like a donkey though. lol

There's a phone in Graham's Up the Tree and kids will have no clue what they're looking at or how those "buttons" work.

Looking out at that crazy Graham up in the tree!

I did a lot of cats in the Daniel Smith green gold watercolor. Definitely a fun color!

Sewing paper is lots of fun. Taking a lot of my cats and sewing them to pretty paper. Not sure what I will do with them after that, but they are fun to make.

This guy makes me smile. Watercolor with pencil.

Watercolor and pencil

These guys make me smile. I keep painting and drawing cats. Not sure why or what I will do with all of them.

Graham's Up the Tree! ("and there's nowhere else he can go!") - my 4 year old ran around the house for weeks misquoting the story with his own interpretation of an Australian accent. Calling it out over, and over, and over again.

"Billy gets there last, wiggles up a spot..." from the Graham's Up the Tree book. I grew to love these kids after drawing them so much. They sort of became real to me.
