Grand Cru Beer and Cheese Market

I created this custom print for my friends at Grand Cur Beer & Cheese Market in Rhinebeck NY, They offer an amazing selection of beers - many of them brewed locally. I was asked to integrate various brewery labels into this storefront scene. Although technically challenging, it was very rewarding to find the right balance in this picture. If you’re ever in Rhinebeck, I highly recommend Grand Cru for their amazing selection of beer, wine and cheese. Custom prints of this image will be available there soon!

Detail # 2 The Grand Cru mascot happens to be a French bulldog!

Deep Down Local

 

This portrait appeared on the cover of About Town, a publication that's geared towards my Hudson Valley community. It accompanied an essay which asks "How long must you live in a community before you can be considered a true local? " five years? ten years? a lifetime? generations? That's a tough one to answer, but I certainly find illustrating local themes helps me feel more connected to my home turf.

This accompanied a story about Mohican Indians who once inhabited my town.

About Town's editor, Paul De Angelis, has been assigning me with fun projects for over thirteen years. It's been rewarding to collaborate with area writers, and learn about the history of my town.  The drawings posted here all incorporate local maps into their content. I hope you enjoy them. More importantly, I hope you enjoy a meaningful connection to your community!

This accompanied a story about a local burglary crime-wave.

If I ever get lost, this local map comes in handy.

This cover image accompanied a story about the 300th birthday of Germantown, NY.

 I'm curious if you feel like a true local in your community?
