Giving artwork as presents is tricky

Giving art work as a gift is always a tricky road to go down. This couple I did this hand lettering for is pretty artsy though, so I figured this, plus some mula would be a nice little present. We couldn't attend this wedding due to going to a wedding in Atlanta.

This present was a fun one for me: my friend Mike has recently changed his name to his grandfather's (on his Mom's side) and then married his college sweetheart. We were excited by their union and they were excited by the new artwork and hung it up right away, which means they liked it, they really liked it.

Skillshare class and Be Fancy

I am in a hand lettering class on Skillshare which has turned out to be a pretty fun little social experience. Lots of amazing artists, 1279 to be exact, collaborating on everyone's projects and pushing each other to higher design.  Check out how Skillshare works here.

This is where my designs are now; going to bring them into the computer this weekend and decide which one is more suiting to a Kentucky derby invitation (which is the unicorn below).

This paper is a lifesaver, it is a free download at www.dottedpaper.com

Character Letter a Day - Letter growth

I decided to redo all the hand lettered letters to make them consistent with each other. Finishing them up tonight then off to print:)
