Over the next 40 days I would like to delve into the world of hand lettering.  I really enjoyed creating my own font and look forward to producing more designs that I can claim as my own.  I also want to more deeply explore fonts and typography created throughout history, honing in on two of my favorite typographic styles...Art Deco and Baroque.  My goal will be to take quotes, one-liners, quips, etc...and hand letter them into beautiful pieces of art. I feel that not only will this aide in broadening my knowledge of the world of fonts & typography in design, but that it will also be a delightful addition to my portfolio.

Wow!  Looking back 20 years at art doodles really helps in gaining perspective.  Let's hope I up the ante this go around. ;) Not that what you see below is too terribly horrible, but...let's just say I've got a lot of room for re-discovery.
