Gin & Tonic

Gin & Tonic illustrated by Kate Brady as part of a personal series.

I’ve been toying with the idea of illustrating some of my favorite drinks for some time now, & finally sat down to work some of them out. Starting with my go-to drink of choice: a gin & tonic. Gin & Tonics tend to remind me of warm days, pine forests, & the movie My Fair Lady. After spending time browsing a few books on Victorian posters, & drafting out a number of sketches, I finished my first illustration. Now I have to go make myself a real gin & tonic to enjoy.

My main goal with this project is improve my lettering & work in gouache. My second goal is to get better at documenting my work. Hopefully my next drink will have more process shots. Now on to the next drink!

Positive vibes lead to positive times. Keeping an upbeat outlook on life and enjoying the simple things helps me focus on trying to be the best I can be. Whether I'm drawing up a logo, taking a picture, or working on a collaborative project, I like to run with the challenge given to me. Working on projects that promote a reaction from people are my favorite, especially if it is something educational.
My goal is to love what I do, and enjoy the company of those around me.
