Today, I worked on reproducing maps for our eastside exhibit.

“Forests Precede Us, Deserts Follow”. Highly ornamental lettering and illustration, inspired by late Victorian art and typography. . This took about 10-15 hours, which I think isn’t too bad for something of this scale. Techniques involved include stippling and hatching with @letter.queen’s line wizard (swipe for closeups, scanned version and hatching timelapse). Prints will be for sale on my threadless store (link in website). I’m also willing to part with the original, DM if interested. 50% of proceeds will be donated to the @rainforestalliance! . I chose this quote by unknown author as it expresses well my feelings of desolation towards humanity as a whole (Don’t get me wrong, I love many humans on an individual basis). It is more than unfortunate how we are driven to destroy this planet for temporary self-preservation and enrichment. We are going towards another mass extinction event, currently losing 27.000 species a year (all lifeforms such as bacteria, plants, and fungi included) against the normal rate, based on fossil evidence, of 10-100 a year. A 123.000 acres of forest are cut down daily. Global temperatures rising, pollution of air, ground, and oceans, etc. . I try to keep some cognitive dissonance for my sanity, while still attempting to be conscious of how my choices affect the planet. But it is depressing to be going through my garbage to recycle, while our current government is undoing industrial and commercial regulations aimed at preventing pollution, or actively denying there is human-caused climate change altogether, against so much evidence to the contrary. . Anyway. Being a human, eh? . . . . #lettering #victorian #sanborn #ornament #flourishing #illustration #calligraphy #stippling #hatching #linewizard #environmentalism #nihilism #humanity #forestry #desertification #handlettering #typography #type #typetopia #goodtype #calligraphymasters #tyxca
