I met Brandon when he was a bar tender in Santa Rosa's local whisky bar named Jack and Tonys. I have an interest in Brandon's work because he builds cocktail menus and is constantly creating new drinks. He is now running the bar in Healdsburg's Vallette. I ate there recently and I got to enjoy Brandon's creativity. Brandon studied martial arts for a long time and is also a tattoo and art nerd. He and I always have something to talk about.

Please check out Brandon's work at Vallette in Healdsburg, you will not be disappointed. Both the food and drinks are top notch.

This episode I introduce the Brave Castle Drawing Challenge. Every episode or so I will be giving out simple drawing assignments for all of us to do. This episodes challenge is HARP. I will be doing the challenges as well and posting to instagram. If you would like to participate, Draw, build, sculpt or whatever to achieve a "HARP" take a photo and post on instagram with the hash tag #bravecastledrawingchallenge and tag me in the photo as well @renzo_butchart

This is a way for us to participate together in fun online critique and get our drawing muscles working. Everyone can draw! You just have to see it all the way through even if you hate it!
