RECENT WORK

Here’s the latest rock-themed Brewco poster. The client requested that Local Natives be featured on this piece.

Here is the artwork below:

In a recent Facebook post, Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce (created by Dexter Holland of punk band The Offspring) stated:

Stoked to have a new account in the South Bay!
Brewco in Manhattan Beach has siiick art on the walls and tasty brews and grub as well. Seriously, this place smells amazing!

Go check out the art, great food and beers, and the wicked Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce at Brewco Manhattan Beach!

For this latest Brewco poster, I was asked to reference Sergei Vasiliev’s photo “Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Print No.15”. Currently on display at the Saatchi Gallery in London, Vasiliev’s exhibit is a collection of photos of Soviet prisoners covered with tattoos. These tattoos displayed the secret code language of criminals in the USSR. Although I did use some Soviet nuances, I opted to keep the tattoos a bit lighter and use Brewco reference instead.

Here is my final design:

Here is the latest Brewco Manhattan Beach poster. The client requested that I feature The White Stripes for this piece. This will likely become part of a series of rock & roll themed Brewco posters.

Here is the final piece:

Here is latest Brewco poster just in time for the Holidays. The client requested that Santa have a pretty blonde sitting on his lap, and pouring him a beer. Naughty ole’ Santa….

For this poster I referenced a number of Haddon Sundblom’s Santa illustrations for the vintage Coca Cola Christmas ads. Sundblom actually studied under my great-grandfather, Antonin Sterba (1875-1963) who was a portrait painter, and who taught at the Art Institute of Chicago. Here is a link to the website I created for Antonin’s works of art.

This is the latest poster created for Manhattan Beach Brewco. With the tagline, “Campaign for Real Ales. God Save the Ales”, it’s a nod CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, an independent, voluntary organisation campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights. It is also, of course a play off of “God Save the Queen”. You can visit CAMRA’s website here: http://www.camra.org.uk/page.php?id=10

The client requested that I closely match Shepard Fairey’s “God Save the Queen” poster; only I was to incorporate a more mature queen raising a pint. Here is a link to Fairey’s poster: http://www.obeygiant.com/prints/god-save-the-queen

Here is the final poster:

Here is the latest Brewco poster with the tagline “Extreme Beers are Extremely Satisfying.” I was asked to reference George Condo’s Screaming Priest painting for inspiration on this piece. This character ended up being a little bit happier than Condo’s angry priest.

Below is the final poster.
