I wanted to post this sooner but alas life likes to be crazy sometimes. In honor of Orval Day coming up, I thought I would release the 12x18 coloring book page version of the poster I created for Fourth Ave Pub's celebration for free. The festivities will be on Saturday, March 22nd. Hope to see y'all there!

This poster was designed for one of Brooklyn's finest craft beer bars, Fourth Ave Pub, that hosts Orval day every year. It was a pleasure to create this one as my directions were to make it art deco which I love. As I worked on it, it just naturally turned into a stained glass nodding to the monks t...

Help out a sweet, NJ brewery (Oakflower) and sign this petition. Food trucks shouldn't be banned, it's helping a smaller brewery bring community together, and I dig those things.

This is my only other art collab with an artist on a beer label with .hounds from 2019 and his lettering really completed this. Simple idea but ex*****on took a lot. The diamonds don't simply overlap, they are all fitted into one another (altho for this image I did throw many diamonds under what was already there to fill in the spaces where tags had been filling.

On another note, I set up the art show today at Barrier. I will be there Friday with prints, playing cards and of course originals. June 3rd, Friday at Barrier Brewing!

This was a crazy label. It was 2018 and I was helping drive from New Jersey to Oklahoma with my mom to help her out. I would stay up super-late after driving for hours working hard to make this label great. The last night I had to stay up till 8 in the morning went to bed for an hour and luckily my mom drove for a few hours so I could sleep a little bit before I drove. I worked so hard to make this one awesome and then the printer printed all of the foiled parts white! I was devastated to say the least. SO! This is what it was supposed to look like everyone. Come see the original drawings throughout the years of Barrier this Friday, June 3rd.
