I’ve started a new project for my Patreon members called Cardinal Thoughts Brewing. It is a virtual brewery completely designed by me alongside my fan base. Logo designs, labels, posters, even bar layout, and construction will be a part of this journey. I decided to start with this label, a recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time.

Rebellion Hazy IPA is a sharp kick of raspberry flavor that keeps you asking for more! Like the bright piercing whistle of a cardinal defending its territory, it screams: I will not be contained! I will not be taken advantage of! See me!

This piece is a love affair with my favorite bird and my love of detailed repeating linework. From the individual feathers along the down belly to the wrapping thorny vines it is a pleasure to look at with plenty of little details to get lost in.
