In addition to art exhibits and a bunch of freelance projects I have also put my house on the market and it has a pending contract so it looks like Auger Artwork Studios will be moving this year!

One of my clients, Mic Sager, was nice enough to send me some sample product of his tasty microbrew. The label features my illustration of a dungeness crab bench-pressing a keg.  Cheers!
