Listen to wise dragons.
This is just a random mashup of Zelda things. Don’t think about it too much. ✌🏻

Stay a mystery. It’s better.
The vintage prints are back! I’ve held on to a few of these in hopes I would get around to lettering on them. This will be the first of 4. I sketched this one out on my iPad, but maybe I’ll get the gold ink out for the real thing again soon.

Goals are hard. Life goals, careers goals, health goals. Your progress may be slower than you’d like. You may see others’ success. You may not be where you want to be yet. But don’t forget the big picture. Remember all your own successes along the way and what they add up to. Look at how far you have come.

Some lettering I made for fun with some background illustration inspired by Tolkien. ✌🏻Be wise y’all.

I usually forget to participate in #goodtypetuesday, but I decided to remember this week because I’ve always liked the slogan of @goodtype, “Strength in Letters”. It’s a great motto for letterers and also perfectly encapsulates the community of hand lettering, typography, calligraphy, etc. on goodtype and instagram as a whole. I found this lettering thing after college when I was looking for better creative outlets than what I was getting at my day job. I began to see all these beautiful artists on Instagram so decided to try out hand lettering because it seemed like an interesting bridge between illustration and design. I started posting and quickly found the iceberg under the surface that makes up the Instagram lettering community. @goodtype is a true harbinger for building and maintaining this community. They aren’t just out for follows and likes, but really bring people together around this little lettering thing we call home. So thanks, Brooke, for everything!

Bob Dylan at his finest. I wanted to get back my roots and work in black and white (and a little gray) again. But maybe this would work better in color. Who knows, man.

Cool cat. This is a random quote I found by Andy Warhol. Did you know Warhol and his mom loved cats? They collaborated on a book together called “25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy”. Not sure if they would approve of this kitty ruining his lungs...

Two more designs I made with @quaycoffee! With their flagship shop in the middle of the river market the design inspiration came directly from the mighty Missouri.
