Multilingual Beer

Beer by any Name, mixed media on board, 12”x16”

How many ways can you say beer?  How many languages?  English? German? Polish? Czech? Swedish? Italian? Creole? French? Latvian? Dutch? Greek? Hungarian?

I think the word “beer” is fairly universal, but just in case you have trouble communicating, this latest piece of art might be handy for world travelers.  And you can take it with you – prints, phone and laptop cases, plus other goodies are available with this image from Society 6.

The original piece Beer by Any Name will be shown in my upcoming exhibit at San Francisco’s City Beer opening October 10, 2013

Summer Beer

Even if, like me, you drink beer year round, there is something about beer that always says summer.  Nothing is better on a hot day.  The current series of beer-themed art I am working on needed a bright and summery piece.  Although, in San Francisco the bright white of summer is more likely to be fog. Prints, phone and laptop cases, plus other goodies are available with this image from Society 6.

Summer will be shown in my upcoming exhibit at San Francisco’s City Beer opening October 10, 2013

Birra

Birra, mixed media on board, 12”x16”

Here is the next work in a series of beer-themed art as I continue to work with beer packaging and beer coasters from California, Oregon, Belgium and Switzerland (to name just a few places). Beeraphernalia was used from small brewery towns around all the way from Petaluma to Appenzell.

Birra will be shown in my upcoming exhibit at San Francisco’s City Beer in October.
