This is my first try at lettering. I'm fairly happy with the result. Inspiration for this came from thinking about Easter (Jesus rising from the dead). And of course, the lyrics to the song:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
by John Newton
Many blessings in Jesus! :)

Sometimes, when I'm using a medium that's hard to control like watercolours, I have to paint a gazillion letters before I get one that I like.
Had the pleasure of guesting on the Drunk on Lettering Podcast this week, hosted by Roxy and Phoebe of San Diego Letters. Had a ton of fun walking through my background studying French and Music, to contracts and weird work stories, as well as the important stuff, like cheese.
Give it a listen!

If you live in Portland I think this guide is out now! I did some lettering for the cover and interiors.

“Constructed with Chinese Tangram puzzle tiles, Seven Board of Cunning takes the concept of Tangrams—that tiles may be arranged into a variety of shapes—and applies it to typography, creating multiple versions of each letter.”
