Spring has always been a time for new beginnings. It makes more sense to me to start at that time. Also, January can be brutal and an awful month to reset in. It may seem weird culturally to wait until spring, but I don’t care lol. #spring #newyearsresolution #procreate #procreatedrawing #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #typegang https://www.instagram.com/p/CnW7zA1r2S8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi, party people! It’s been so long since my last post. I’ve really missed sharing my work and connecting with you. The past six months have been rough for me, and for a few months I didn’t draw anything at all. When I finally did, they weren’t lettering pieces. I thought it would be odd to just post them without any context. So, this is a heads up that my content will shift for a bit. I hope everyone enjoys these pieces as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them. Much love:) #procreate #illustration #digitalart #procreateillustration #procreateart https://www.instagram.com/p/COIqgsSHWPi/?igshid=akupmui8v3g3

I’m honored to be partnering with @VerveRecords for Nina Simone’s “Color Is A Beautiful Thing”. I created this piece inspired by the song and I wanted it to feel bold and happy. Just like the song! You can join in and post YOUR own art inspired by the song by using #NinaSimoneArtChallenge and tagging @ninasimone https://www.instagram.com/p/CHbXdqdHIBK/?igshid=14ibkdw54ooxb

However, is anybody else bracing themselves for the worst like I am?? I just don’t want four MORE years of chaos. Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts. ———————— #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #election2020 #procreate #procreatelettering #procreateillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CHHGIc3n1TU/?igshid=65lys9r4febh

Anyone else redo pieces from years ago when in a creative block? I did the original (second slide) back in 2016, I believe. And yes... still a Tea Freak 😂 ————- #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawnletters #procreateart #procreatelettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CGc8N1wHZFa/?igshid=mlt6h5w7iayk

After that debacle of a debate, please PLEASE exercise your right to vote. I’ve already got my ballot ready to go (might drop it off downtown just in case). ———————— #handlettering #lettering #handdrawntype #handdrawnletters #procreate #procreatelettering #procreateillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CFw0VvxJR40/?igshid=1nxrzgluptran

Hey, party people! I’ve missed you! Taking a break from social media has done wonders for my mental health. So much so that I’m going to limit my use each day going forward. I love sharing my art and connecting with everyone, and will still do so while taking better care of myself. I hope everyone’s having an awesome weekend! ________________________ #lettering #handdrawntype #handlettering #handdrawnletters #procreate #procreateillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqBCaoHmHp/?igshid=1jsaxwd0ndx8h

Lately, FB, Twitter, IG, and the news have taken a toll on my mental health. So many negative emotions are bogging down my mind. On one hand I want to be informed and love sharing my art, but on the other hand I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I think it’s time for me to step away for a bit and return when I feel better. Honestly, I’m afraid I’ll lose followers by not being active. But, right now healing my mind is much more important. Much love to everyone:) “Pay less attention to your cell, more attention to your soul.” - Karen Salmansohn ——————————— #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawnletters #typegang #lettering #procreate #procreatelettering #procreateillustration #mentalheallth https://www.instagram.com/p/CEefyKXnMbr/?igshid=14z866uwpn5ku

Just a reminder for everyone (including myself). With everything that’s happening during this trying year, I know many are struggling physically and mentally. If you need to step away from anything for a while to help your mental health please do so. ———————- #handlettering #lettering #handdrawntype #handdrawnletters #mentalhealthawareness #procreate #procreateillustration #procreatelettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPnVknH0vT/?igshid=1gq14fkj9nsez

Hi there! I’m Tiff (duh lol) and I’m a graphic designer and letterer based in Norfolk, VA along with my daughter and two cats. I’ve recently gotten an influx of new party people here and wanted to introduce myself with a few random facts:) 1. I was born in Japan (Always a good conversation starter) 2. I sound like I’m twelve. 3. I’m a Scorpio, but I promise I won’t sting you… unless you deserve it. 4. I love Kpop and I don’t care who knows. 5. AirPods hurt my ears 6. I make shelves and random things I need out of foam board 7. When I laugh hard I sound like I lost my voice box 8. I have about 35 fake succulents because real plants die with the quickness in my care. I also love connecting with people online since I’m such an introvert. So, let me know a bit about you in the comments! #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawnletters #typegang #lettering #procreate #procreatelettering #procreateillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9EhJfHQ06/?igshid=1t6a15bpkxgfl
