Lizard Juice

2 Comments

It’s summer and the lizards are out in Austin – they’re running around, climbing, and doing push-ups in a frenzy of reptilian exuberance. It’s a fitting time to announce a collaboration that’s been brewing between me and Zilker beer: a fruited kettle sour we’re calling Lizard Juice!

This seasonal beer features my artwork on the 16oz cans and is available only at Zilker Brewing Co. I’m also unveiling new paintings and a new bandana design, on exhibition in the taproom through August (while supplies last).

To celebrate, we’re throwing a party on Thursday, July 10th with live music by “one man funk band” Henry Invisible and artisanal tie dye by Zencraft Arts – Join us!

I would like to thank some of the lizards that helped make this happen:

A friend posted this photo on Facebook and I immediately knew I had to use it for my painting!
This gorgeous Tegu lizard wandered into my backyard. After about three hours, we finally had it captured, in our bathtub, and had located the very-grateful owner.
I was asked to pet-sit for my neighbors, and learned how to feed this lovely lizard (one small salad every day plus 10-20 crickets – yum!)
While pet-sitting, I spotted my favorite print by Austin artist Corey Carbo.

ALSO SHOWING

You can see both my paintings of Big Bend’s Santa Elena Canyon at Art For The People Gallery, as part of their Captivating Colors group show.

I recommend going on a second Saturday if you can, to visit more than a hundred open art studios next door at Art Hub ATX.

Captivating Colors is on exhibit until August 15th.

Happy art viewing and happy Independence Day!
Enjoy this time to relax and let your inner lizard loose!
