Celebrating World Kindness Day a day late — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Doesn’t matter though because kindness is a gift that we can share with anyone all year round. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But before you share kindness, be kind to yourself first. Remember, you can’t give what you don’t have. Do something that makes you happy, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you feel like spreading it all over the world, you can do your part... It can be as simple as texting a positive message to a friend or thanking the cab driver with a smile for a safe ride home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or, how about sharing this post in your stories and tell your friends to do the same? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because in this day and age of social media, we know we need more kindness. In spite of all our differences, kindness is still the common thread that binds us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sglettering #handmadetype #worldkindnessday#handlettering #handletteredABCs #lettering #letteringco #typegang #typematters #typespire #betype #typography #Designspiration #thedailytype #thedesigntip #ligaturecollective #goodtype #strengthinletters #ArtofType #kindnessmatters #kindnessquotes #bekindalways #bekindtoyourself #bekindtooneanother (at Manila, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/B42BRfdncDp/?igshid=7zhxw7ly1tt8

I was hoping I’d share a new letter today but you know...work! I’ve not been able to share a new one since Saturday and it’s been paralizing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dislike myself when I obssessed too much on how my feed looks because I know that if I don’t follow it, it’ll keep me from sharing even though I have other things to share! 🙅🏻‍♀️ So today, I’m breaking the habit and celebrating the fact that I managed to hit the post button! 👏🏻 Double tap if this has happened to you too so we can give each other a virtual high five! . . . . . . . . . . #sglettering #handmadetype #handdrawntype #handlettering #letteringdaily #lettering #letteringco #typegang #typematters #typespire #betype #letteringcommunity #Designspiration #thedailytype #thedesigntip #ligaturecollective #goodtype #strengthinletters #ArtofType #typographyinspired #artistoninstagram #TYxCA #myedeleon #mdlhandlettering #letteringleague #50words (at Asia/Singapore)

I had to cut this recording short because it rained before I was able to complete this page and my windows are open, and I was recording by the window! Talk about perfect timing 😂. Swipe to see the completed page. . Anyways, I got a DM yesterday as to how I was planning the colors for this alphabet series. To be perfectly honest, when I’m playing like this I don’t particularly plan. The goal of this is to enjoy it and don’t get too serious about it. But if you notice, I was outlining my letters very carefully first. Afterwards, I will spread my all blacks across the page. Then, I’ll follow it up with colors but carefully spreading them around too to create movement.. . If your goal is to achieve balance, you need to be able to discern where to put things around. You learn that by doing - repeatedly. Allowing yourself to make mistakes and learning from it.. . There is no magic formula. Just keep creating! Happy hump day! . . . . . . . . . . #sglettering #handmadetype #handdrawntype #handlettering #handletteredABCs #lettering #letteringco #typegang #typematters #typespire #betype #typography #Designspiration #thedailytype #thedesigntip #ligaturecollective #goodtype #strengthinletters #ArtofType #typographyinspired #artistoninstagram #TYxCA #myedeleon #mdlhandlettering #50words #inspiremyinstagram #createdtoday #createxplore (at Asia/Singapore)

Last May, I took part on @fabercastellsg Art Festival and one of the pieces I contributed to the exhibit was this ampersand. The original artwork was sold during the exhibit and it was a beautiful story.. . A couple walked in the exhibit and saw the artwork. They didn’t know what it was until they read the writeup and learned what an ampersand is. They loved it and want to have in their new home because they just got married! I don’t know what transpired during that moment but they did not purchase it that day. Then, I got an email from the husband. He said he wanted to surprise his wife for her birthday and he would love to keep the purchase a secret! He dropped by the exhibit when I was scheduled for a workshop and I signed it for him. Then he told me that his wife’s initials are E and T which was the literal Latin (et) translation of the Ampersand! How cool is that?. . This ampersand is a limited edition letterpress poster of the original artwork and it’s now on sale! Purchases made today thru August 1st will include a hand-lettered namecard from me!You can read the writeup and purchase using the link in my profile!. . Swipe to see the original artwork . . #ampersand #letterpress #letterpresslove #sglettering #stayinspired (at Asia/Singapore)

Because we’re busy prepping for the upcoming online (yes, online!) mentorship program this week, I’m leaving you with a quick tutorial on how to add inlines or other accents to your letter using white gelly roll pens!.. .. Quick Tips: ① Let your black ink dry at least a few minutes. ② Draw your inline on top of your black ink. ③ Let the white gelly ink flow from the pen. Do not put pressure on it.. .. ④ Go slow and steady ⑤ Erase any white ink mistake with your black fineliner.. .. That’s it!.. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . #letteringtutorial #letteringleague #typespire #typegang #typeverything #typematters #thedailytype #handlettering #myedeleon #mdlvideos #letteringchallenge #handletteringpractice #typism #goodtype #strengthinletters #typetopia #handletteredabcs #sglettering #artistph
