Illustrations for McKenzie Brewing Co. (2013 - present)

Based in sunny Eugene, OR near the mouth of its namesake waterway, award-winning McKenzie Brewing Co. announced St. Bernard Brown in 2013, the first of their Seasonal Release line of ales and a frontrunner intentionally crafted in memory of their head brewer's dearly departed canine bestie.

To elevate this significant brew, they reached out to the University of Oregon Digital Art department to hold a contest among the creatively-inclined students for an illustration capturing the carefree, easy-going attitude of the beloved St. Bernard.

From that single contest, a working relationship developed, and over the years, they've returned continuously for artwork for five of their Seasonal Release Ales as well as illustrations for other small projects they've heralded.
