"I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter's tough, but spring's coming. I believe that there's a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better." - Steve Southerland - Well, spring is right around the corner, 36 days away to be exact, and I am inspired. When I first started this particular hand-lettering project I thought that I would only represent the leaf design as an accent to the letter itself, but as the drawing progressed, I found that the overall effect looked much more organic and complete by introducing the leaf design throughout the entire letter. I am enjoying the lines within this drawing. They are soft and fluid. I actually liked this hand-lettering so much that I decided to imitate the same design, but as a bold option, the initial drawing was my take on the regular option.
"An oldy, but a goody." Three semesters ago I was challenged to create a design that depicted what I felt when designing a logo for a business I would be running. I have had the business name for quite some time, but I had never really found a font I liked to represent that design (which is hilarious, "it's not as if there are a million to choose from or anything...oy vey!"). Then I came across the Victorian alphabet (this style just being one of the many) and fell in love. Especially with the upper & lower case G's...my homies. “Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.” - Edward Lear - Inspired by my daughter last night I decided to formulate a composition that translated her love of dance. She is learning, so to encompass that I made some lines graceful, while others hard, some straight, and others falling or lying down. This leading to simple curves mixed with sharp lines, and most letters broken throughout their formation. I also invited imagery of a crescent moon, as when watching others dance, I often feel lifted to, and by the light of, the moon. My thoughts wander to a more serene, celestial place and I wanted to showcase that here. Click on the button below to see my bug in action: |
