So a few months ago I started working on this illustration of the white house made of beer related items.  My friend told me how they started brewing beer, & I thought it would be a fun drawing that lots of people in the DC area would like, or really anyone who loves beer.It took me a while to do the drawing simply because I couldn't think of anything good for the middle columns. Finally, my dad suggested using "yards of beer," which I have still never seen in person, but would love to find somewhere. Here is the completed drawing. You can see some of the detail work if you view it larger.Once I had the drawing completed, I sent it off to get turned into a magnesium letterpress die. It looked so cool when I got it back! I was really hoping that all the little hand details of the pen worked it's way into the final letterpress prints, and it really did.If you want a copy, I have it for sale over at etsy!  Let me know what you think!
