When you're invited to a super hero fancy dress party and there's no way you're shaving off the beard! Thank god I'm an artist. #superhero #aquaman #beard

Cracking first beer from @rockleopardbrewing. Really proud to have my artwork adorn the can. Tropical, banana esters, a little herbal spice, a hint of saison. Very thirst quenching on a hot and moody day up Bencathra in the Lakes yesterday. #craftbeer #craftbeerart #craftbeer #blencathra #lakedistrict #rockleopardbrewingco #lewisryanart
Thanks @jacksons_art for the quick next day delivery on art materials! Brilliant service as always. I needed to stock up on some pigma microns for this project for @thebarstewardsonsofvaldoonican album gatefold artwork. This piece is big and detailed. All penciled in yesterday and needed ink. Thought I may as well buy some decent gouache and add to my brushes at the same time. #newartmaterials #artmaterials #sneekpeak #sketch #illustration
Been having some fun playing around with Debaser (print textures) from @yourcinema and @truegrittexturesupply to make my artwork look a little more old-school. Here's a little character who'll be adorning a Session Ale Craft Can later on in the year. I'm digging that old print look! It's kind of the next step of colouring that adds heaps of character to my handdrawn ink line work. I'm sure with anything like this it could be overused, but for the right piece of art, I love it! #texture #ceaftbeerart #craftbeer #debaser #illustration
I'd like to share this Kickstarter project: https://kck.st/2KG34Si (and link currently in my profile) Brand Crafted. A craft beer coffee table book which will contain photographs and interviews with people in the craft beer industry - Brewers, Bottle Shops, Illustrators, Designers, Bloggers, and Journalists. Just some of the breweries that are featured: Wild Beer Co. Wylam Brewery Abbeydale Brewery, Thornbridge Brewery, Verdant Brewing Co, Marble Brewery Magic Rock Brewing Creative Director David Colley and Photographer Gavin Joynt have been traveling up and down the country for over a year collecting interviews and photographs. The Kickstarter is to fund bringing this amazing book to market. I had the massive opportunity to firstly be interviewed and photographed in November last year for the book (the day after my art studio was finished being renovated) and subsequently, I was asked to create the illustration which will feature in the book. Any of my Instagram followers who are into craft beer or know anyone that is? This is going to be something really, really special! #kickstarter #craftbeer #craftnotcrap @brandcraftedbook
Quite nice little read whilst waiting for the scanner to scan some ink. My other half bought me this last night, and very glad she did! Inspiring and well written, but makes me want to drink beer while illustrating. 😎 #craftbeer #beer #currentlyreading @melissacolebeer
Experiment no.3 ink traced, scanned and digitally coloured. It's just a head here, but the head will have a body on the can artwork. I'm just seeing how complex I can make this... Think I need a few in-betweens to make this more fluid. Still I'd say another successful experiment. #animation #animatedgif #craftbeerart #cat #craftbeerlabel #lazerbeameyes #art #2danimation #handdrawnonpaper
Well I'm happy with that for a rough test. #animation #animatedgif #roughanimation #traditionalanimation
Playing around with some traditional hand drawn animation to help market a beer label for a client (Who doesn't like a good animated gif?). I like trying something a little different every now and then. What the hell is a MuMu Cat anyhow? #craftcanart #craftbeer #animation #positioningpaper #mumucat #cat #cartoon
Another rough and ready sketch for an upcoming craft beer. #craftbeer #sketch #sketchbook
A little rough sketch idea for an up and coming #craftbeer label. #lazerbeameyes #cat
A rare glimpse on Instagram of myself checking out my beer artwork in the wild. @lostindustrybrewing Cinnamon Mochacinno Stout at @thebarstewards in Sheffield. Deliciously like a Mocha! #craftbeersheffield #craftbeer #sheffieldbeer
