I wanted to create something to hang in our book/dining room (we converted the living room into a dining area with a booth bench and an entire wall of books), but as usual was unable to come up with just the right words, so I continued with the #lovewins theme and made another version of a block I made for Sew Mama Sew's #lovewins quilt.

I recently created a class with CreativeLive on illustrative, hand-lettering. I teach the class using a tablet and Photoshop, but the majority of it could be done the analog way. I recorded the class while I was in San Francisco — it was a lot of fun hanging out with all the great people at CreativeLive.

The class is broken down into 14 easily digested lessons that you can follow along with on your own schedule. Included with the class are a number of extras including: working files, desktops, a discount code for Kyle Webster’s amazing Photoshop brushes, process PDF’s, textures, and more!

I love lettering! Typography design is a huge passion of mine. Not so much in the technical details, but the flow and visual structure of it. I'm not sure why, but I've always had an affinity for the way the lines move throughout the letters.

So, this shot is nothing about photography but rather a great example of old time, classic, decorative lettering and typography.

I found this on front of a rusing old wood stove that was behind a building in Gruene, Texas. The soft egg white ceramic background with the light blue just screams history to me, and I loved it. If only it was easy to make lettering like this with a computer these days.

South Lambeth Road wall painted out some time ago, but 2020 billboard removal has revealed a few remnants of old lettering for a company who may well have been in the shop on this corner plot.

London Ltd & the word Service can be made out & also few other letters, but not enough to work out what this shop or company did.

Lettering for WIRED italia

Started some lettering on the other side... "The Wild One" 130

The wild one was not a James Dean movie, but the first real biker outlaw movie, and James was often described as The wild one.. and 130 is self explained, isn't it? :-)
