“March Comes in Like a Lion...”
The old adage “March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb” is illustrated here by Vernon Thomas for the March 1935 cover of the popular magazine Good Housekeeping. The saying refers to the seasonal shifts of weather. This year the expression was borne out in my area -- we have some heavy rainfall and big gusts of wind! California needs rain, so the precipitation is quite welcome.
March 1935 cover of Good Housekeeping magazine. “Vernon Thomas” was actually a female artist who worked under her husband’s name, a fairly common practice at the time.
“Vernon Thomas,” a popular Chicago-based painter, illustrator, and etcher, was actually a female born in 1894 who worked under her husband’s name, as some women did in her day. (Through the first half of the 20th century it was not unusual for female artists and writers to disguise themselves professionally by adopting male names or reducing their first names to initials.) Below the illustration is a call-out for a new novel by the author Edison Tesla Marshall, also born in 1894, known for short and long form fiction. His novels were often serialized in various publications.
For the last four years, I’ve been keeping a pretty basic bullet journal. It has been more of an outlet to create hand lettering than to actually bullet journal, but I’ve had so much fun with it! Every month, I try to make time to do a full hand-lettered spread for that month. Sometimes they're simple and sometimes they're more complex. Sometimes I don't ever finish and other times I don't even start! It's been a super fun and low-pressure way to keep drawing even when I get busy. I also love to keep track of what's going on in my life. When I was pregnant I added a section each week to talk about how I felt or how the baby was doing. Now that Griffy is here, I make a point to add a few fun new things he's doing or saying each week. I love looking back at where I was at that moment, even if it's just remembering how I felt or where I was when I drew the lettering for that month. I can't believe I've really been doing this for four years now! I'll try to take some photographs of my weekly pages to share. I've had so much fun with them! #happynewyear #bulletjournal #bulletjournallettering #bulletjournalspread #bulletjournalideas #bujobeauties #bulletjournalcommunity #bujocommunity #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawn #sketchbook #sketchbookart #illustration #illustrationartists #ladiesofillustration #femaleillustrators #womenwhodraw #womenofıllustration #weloveillustration #ladieswhodesign #creativewomenclub #womenwithpencils #womenoftype #letteringart #strengthinletters #typematters #goodtype (at Steamboat Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYDpi1Jmg5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It's always super fun (and intimidating sometimes 😆)to get immersed in a new sketch. . Here's another shot of my illustration depicting one of the runway looks from @commedesgarcons Homme Plus Fall 2023 Collection, designed by Rei Kawakubo at @parisfashionweek. Headpieces by @garycard & @valerianevnc Do you think this would make for a nice print? 🖼️ .
