Today's hand lettering practice. My favorite quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Stuff from my Drawing I class in college. 2006

One of my absolute favorite projects, for my Typography II class. We had to design 10 alphabets without using a computer. This is the one that got the most attention - I bought old paperback books at Goodwill (a few were donated by a friend) and, using a bandsaw, cut them into letter shapes. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be at first. 2008

just wondering, WHY do you desing signatures...? what's the point...

What's the point of running a marathon? What's the point of crocheting an octopus? What's the point of homoerotic Sherlock watercolors (dftba)? Because really, if you're asking the point of the signatures, you're asking the point of any creative human endeavor ever.

Why? Because I was bored at work one day and found myself wondering how Jim Moriarty would sign his name. So I scribbled a lot, settled on a design, uploaded it to tumblr and people really seemed to like it. So I made more. And then I made signatures for the crew of MJN Air. And then for the crew of Serenity.

So why did I do it?

Why does anyone do anything?

Because it was fun.

Hey! This is totally random and I'm sorry for creeping but I saw those posters you made with lyrics on them and thought its a great gift idea. Can you tell me how you did them; like if you go through a website or something? I'm a huge fan of flogging molly and the wrong company one really intrigued me. But I'd love to give one to a friend for Christmas, with a different song. Again, sorry for being a bit lurky, but any info would help :)

I didn't use a website or anything - I made them in Adobe Illustrator. My degree is actually in Graphic Design and I'm a huge typography dork :3

I do plan on putting something to do with these up in my etsy shop or RedBubble after the holidays (or once my brother gets his present - both shops link to my facebook and I don't want to spoil the surprise)

If/when I do that I'll be sure to put a link up here! Thanks so much!

The truth in your lies

For some reason, my workplace stayed open until 5pm, even though we've had literally one person come in in the last three hours. So this is how I occupied myself :3

Hand lettered, Sakura micron pens on copy paper.
