Here's a new poster I printed up for this year's FEAST DAY at my favorite local tavern & restaurant The Royale , feauring a new beer by my favorite local brewer The Civil Life. 4-colors (including metallic gold) on wheat paper, 24" x 18".
Inspiration for the poster was drawn from this book --

Some early sketches:
More developed sketches:
Map reference for the area of South St. Louis generally transcribed on the print:
A color study:
A tight under-drawing:

Hope to see you at the Royale this Saturday, ready to celebrate the eponymous patron saint of our town in frothy fashion! Also, I heard there will be live accordion.
