Whenever I feel like I’m going stir-crazy in my solitary studio, I go and have a pint of cider with my friends Barry & Renée, who own a gorgeous taproom called Pint Defiance. Next week is the first anniversary of their opening day, so I thought I’d help them celebrate by posting a couple of sketches I did there recently.

I’ve been lucky enough to have a front row seat for Pint Defiance’s beginnings—I even got to design their logo for them (and therefore add some roadside kitsch to my “serious” portfolio!). So come Tuesday, you can bet I’ll be raising a glass to toast Barry & Renée—for the past year, and for every one to come.
