Men of refined taste

AD's all like, "Fuck this wine shit! Gimme a bottle Bell's stout!"
Red's about to bitch slap someone while Sperry's eyes are like "holy shit! I can't believe I'm about to watch this..."

this is pretty much what's happening!

i heard AD's more of a beer person, so i had to give him the only one ;)

This is one classy Soirée.
Lovely work, as always.

This is every high end restaurant with a large window allowing you to see all the good times inside, how's it going every high end restaurant with a large window allowing you to see all the good times inside?

I love this!

This looks great! The characters, background and details look fantastic. ^_^
Everyone looks like they are having a great time.

Damn, you're smooth! I'm very, very excited to be part of this picture! You've got serious skills, man.

Also, I'm the guy that brought the mac 'n cheese.

dinner parties FOREVER = one of my unattainable dreams

Potlucks are my favorite casserole-consumption venues. There's always two or three. I also love the dishrag napkins and ball jar candle holder - home decor in the style of Americana 2.0 as you put it. I get the sense you might be a fan of the arts and crafts movement. You have an appreciation of stuff that's aesthetically considered but simple, and functional. "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. " - Wm. Morris

My phrasing made it sound like "oh you should check out the arts and crafts movement" but it was intended to suggest that you already had.

i'm so glad you noticed the dishrag napkins! i am very much into the "americana 2.0" decor at the moment, and yes i am all about the etsy-hand-craft-diy as well. by the way that quote is great, thanks for sharing

this may or may not be unrelated, but this blog is one of those where i go to gain inspiration. used it for this illustration for sure.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING

I DO enjoy! Food porn!OMG the blue stained table in the first set of pics is... damn! there needs to be an emoticon with its eyes bugging out cuz I love colored stained wood and it's so weathered and boneriffic.

I also <3 mason jars and recently bought a couple of these from the (then local) watering hole: http://store.lagunitas.com/Lagunita.....Jars_p_23.html stylish, yes, but sadly they do not actually have threaded tops so they only function as glasses (or candle holders). Similarly, the mexican restaurant near me (bomb tortas, lame burritos) has hanging lights that are just upside-down 3 gallon metal buckets with light bulbs in them. SO RAD.

Fun fact: Etsy was started by dudes I went to college with. We sat on student council together.

hahah yes! Kate knows the deal for sure.
etsy bros: woah crazy!
Freaking out about those mason jars but bummed about the shipping price for two :/ whatevs they're worth it

I just saw this on tumblr...
I like this very much!
This is really quite remarkable!

thankyou! also awesome that it was on tumblr!

It's good to know you appreciate your art being spread without permission. Also, the original poster links the user to this page :)

I wish my bros dressed that fancy!!! I try to spice it up and they tell me i dress too nice :P

tell your bros there is no such thing as dressing too nice! ;)

Hehe!!! Will do!!! :3

haha this looks freakishly similar to the parties my friends host. Just add alot more yelling, jew sitcom references, and at least one big fake Louis Vuitton bag.

but besides that this piece fantastic! The interaction between characters is really believable, awesome job :3

everything in this is so perfect

omg

Wow, I love the style of this piece, there's a lot of realism yet they look... "toony", for lack of a better word, in how the facial structure is but their poses and action look very true-to-life. Plus they just look like a bunch of guys having a good time, and the color palette is subdued but warm.

Awesome to see a more general raucous good time be depicted like this. Awesome work!

Thank you for using flat colors. I hate shading honestly. Flat colors are much more pleasing to the eye in my opinion.

what a bunch

D'aw, how bro-tastically posh. I dream of having dinners and gatherings like this on some set schedule that everyone just knows. I love the look and feel of this pic, as if I am actually peeking in on someone's life moment. I love that wine drinking pose, very well done.
