I'm primarily a traditional illustrator these days. I finally feel I have a steady hand in watercolor and am adding gouache to the mix. You might also find my work on sketch cards, primarily done in ink and Copic marker. Most of my "serious" digital work lately is designing enamel pins.
Can you believe it was 2018 when I first made Drachtoberfest a thing? Holy wow.
I always intended to add to the line, then there was that whole pandemic thing and Oktoberfests went on the backburner (understandably so!) I also had to take a big break and step back from a lot. But you know what?
Right now I'm running a Pledgebox pre-order store for more beer dragon pins! Check it out, maybe help spread the word?

Drachtoberfest: The Return (more beer dragons!)
a year ago
Holy wow y'all.
So, six years ago I did a whole Drachtoberfest thing, with ten different beer-themed dragons. (Well, eight beer dragons, and mead, and a lambic, but anyway..)
Since then I've produced many other pin designs and learned how to do many different cool things to create interesting, dynamic designs. I also have been very fortunate to do a project with Iggi (Iggi ink/ Iggi Eastwind / Alstro Arts), who is not only a wonderful human being but an amazing artist. (Note to self, review hotlink/icon commands.)
That brings me to now, where I'm hosting the lastest iteration of the Drachtoberfest line!

I've five new brews, plus the return of Mead, the most popular of designs from series one. (Followed closely by Porter, Stout, then Pilsner, and Eisbok.) As part of the new line there's a second familiar face, Sake! Who appeared as a sticker design only before now. I've taken what I learned to make more bombastic designs with all sorts of neat options like clear beer glass windows and layered metal effects.
As of now we're halfway to stretchgoal 1: Dunkel, Hefeweizen, and mini pin Dragon Mug. As with the previous campaign I will also offer the original illustrations as rewards as goals close in, with other special limited options should the second stretch goal unlock.
I guess I could also do a life update journal, but maybe later? My life much less exciting than my art. XD
