my friends at the first church of bracketology contacted me in need of a beer tap for their weekly worship, and more importantly for their march high holiday services. after meeting with the delightful reverend raycroft, we came upon a name and visual look for their holy brew, hardwood ale. go defense!
note: hardwood ale might end up being hardwood pilsner, they aren’t brewing the stuff, just labeling it.

update:
the image has since seen some editing, much better now.






american museum of natural history
had myself a drawing day at the american museum of natural history, a great museum to spend the day wandering through or sitting and drawing. of course i am a fan of the dioramas, which are great to draw, but it’s also a big enough museum to come across areas i have never been to before. the gem room in particular is amazing. dark, difficult accessibility, designed in the 70′s, it’s not for everyone, but it’s worth a visit.
