DRINK-N-DRAW SPOTLIGHT // Albert Oeswadi’s Comic Creations

From time to time, we like to spotlight one of the good folks coming to Drink-n-Draw (every Wednesday from 8 to 10:30pm!). Today’s lucky Drink-n-Draw-er is Albert Oeswadi, who caught our eye with this lovely lady (much larger and lovelier after the jump).

By day, Albert is a public accountant who “inappropriately doodles during meetings,” he says. By night, he sketches comics, cartoons, and what he calls “random, silly things.”

Why does he come to Drink n Draw? “It’s the perfect way to relax after a long day of work and meet people. Overall, it’s more rewarding and cheaper than happy hours, therapy sessions or a gym membership,” he says, adding, “The unlimited PBR doesn't hurt either.” We’ll drink to that!

Albert--originally from Indonesia--is an Upper East Sider, but says “I recently developed an interest to explore more of Brooklyn after my friends moved to the borough - I hope to do the same one day.” Good man.

Albert says his sketches are “heavily influenced” by Mike Mignola, one of his “all-time favorite” comic artists. Check out more of his work on his Blogspot and Tumblr -- and come on out next Wednesday night!
