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.

Last collab piece with @_humbleadventures. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the lettering on these. Go check out Ethan’s photography work on his page!✌🏻

Did you know earlier this week @nasa’s new horizons probe flew by the most distant object ever visited by spacecraft? Well it did. .
First post of the new year! I’ve been playing with textures a bit recently, so for this piece I just decided to cram as many textures in as I could fit. #2019 #newhorizons

Less of a “best nine” and more of a “here are some of my favorite projects and posts from 2018”. It was a great year for a lot of reasons. I’m in a great new job, I got to work on some awesome freelance projects, I travelled to amazing new places, and I’m surrounded my some wonderful people. See you in 2019!
