I just watched a Skillshare video about vectorizing watercolors. soooo fun!

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

...having fun with these seasonal colors.

*writes a few words, masticates a few more he found reading Doctor Who books* An ode to the more saccharine yet saltier tasting things in life. Faff and fluff aside, find your own meaning folks.

Stickers I had printed up for art shows!

Having way too much fun with textures and halftones in Procreate.

Label I made for Wallenpaupack Brewing Company! Soo tasty!

Tiny Happy Skulls... is what I like to paint.

A tribute to Leith in Edinburgh, a place that never stops inspiring me for allsorts of reasons.

With thanks (again) to endless listens of Devendra Banhart and other awesome folk like himself...heheh.

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

There's a big drop of black ink spilled near the center... It's like that bit of ink just couldn't wait to be part of the art. Sometimes a rough sketch takes on a life of its own.

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

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!

Summer is finally here and I am creating a sunny postcard to send to friends while on road trips.

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.
