Hey, thanks for stopping by!

IN BRIEF
The lights are down, the tree chipped into mulch, & the garland packed away in the attic. The holiday season is officially over.

After months of shopping for others, why not make the long, cold winter months more enjoyable by treating yourself to a new piece of art from ianbeers.com? In addition to restocking some popular pieces, I recently introduced THE C-TOWN PINT! My popular C-TOWN design leaps from apparel to the home collection with this glassware. It totally rules.

Go ahead, treat yourself! I won't tell anyone :)

WHAT'S HAPPENING @ IANBEERS.COM

My artistic perspective has been influenced by my affection for my childhood home Cleveland, OH, by my passion for commercial art, & by my insatiable curiosity which leads me to explore “out-of-the-box” ways to share that art.  

Cleveland - once a booming rust belt city - often depicts itself as the victim of a depressed economy, a broken school system, & a population fleeing for other big cities.   You will not find that mindset in my work.  Rather, my perspective is shaped by the architecture of skyscrapers, cultural institutions, & bridges which created the city’s rich history.  Partnered with my belief in the resiliency of Cleveland; the juxtaposition of pop culture, electric atmosphere, & the pounding pulse of the city serve as both my inspiration & as a mentor.

I work primarily in graphic art but also dabble in acrylic paints, pastels, & colored pencils for fun. Pictorial communication is one of the oldest and richest of human inventions, like writing or music. It started on rocks & the surfaces of clay pots & in the woven threads of textiles... then moved to walls, wood panels, & canvas. In the digital age, it includes Photoshop & computer graphics.

My product range includes stretched canvas, matted prints, Polypropylene posters, graphic t-shirts, Tyvek wallets, bumper stickers, backlit film on light boxes, mugs, & key chains all featuring my original art.  My goal is to present my customers with both traditional & non-traditional means to enjoy my work. The depth of my product line & my pricing pyramid exhibit my approach to making original art accessible & attainable for everyone. Whether it's the cashier at the grocery commenting on how cool your wallet is, the guy in the coffee shop asking where you got your Cleveland tee, or that piece of pop art hanging on the wall that becomes the topic of conversation at the party - I try to capture & create civic pride with each new piece. Not only among strangers in far-away places, but among fellow Clevelanders as well.

This is my brand.
