A guy I drew at work the other day. I was playing with my new #4/1.2mm rapidograph and some prismacolor markers.

The latest Beer Advocate piece called for an illustration that showed the mixing of seasonal beers and how they seem to come earlier and earlier. Here, Fall is being supplanted by Winter.

I was having some trouble finding the exact angle of the starship Enterprise that I wanted (google image search failed me!), so I made my own reference in 3DS Max.

Inked with a #3 and #1 watercolor brush.

My wife, Nancy, has started a blog about our crazy life as parents! Check it out here!

The latest Beer Advocate piece:

And here are some progress shots just for fun.
