⚡️ ɢ ɪ ᴠ ᴇ ᴀ ᴡ ᴀ ʏ ⚡️ – Today’s my birthday and I’m celebrating by hosting another giveaway!!! 🥳✨🎂 If there’s one thing that has kept me grounded through my lettering journey, it’s remembering *why* I started. I love creating things by hand and drawing has always been my happy place... decades before likes, followers and social media was ever a thing. I fall back on this when I’m feeling overwhelmed and it’s what keeps me going. – To enter, comment below and tell me why you started your journey. One winner will be chosen at random and will receive a copy of The Art of Hand Lettering for Beginners + some lettering goodies to get you started! ✍🏼❤️ Entries close Thurs at noon PST. – p.s. The book officially goes on sale on 12/18 (ONE WEEK!! 😱). Link in bio to preorder and get your copy before the holidays! ✨🎄🎁 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQfOmqh84A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tiq1gnbz8pf1

Practice Makes Progress

A simple recipe for success: Learn the rules, dedicate time to your craft and practice mindfully to separate yourself from the rest. ✨ – Swipe to steal a peek of the second chapter of my book. 📖🧐 It’s filled to the brim with lettering protips, 8 custom alphabets (with numbered stroke guides!), how to use flourishes and illustrations, plus my *full* lettering process from sketch to completion. Phew! (And that’s just one of the four chapters. 😉) Get your copy here: amzn.to/2JwrklS

Best Day Ever

I love my iPad and sketchbook, but chalkboard lettering will forever be one of my favs. 🖤 You can get as OCD as you want or leave your lettering as imperfect as you’d like. And if you’re tired of staring at what you’ve created, just wipe it down and start fresh. (Or don’t. I legit get anxiety about erasing my work too. 😅🙈) – Chalkboard lettering is one of 20 projects you’ll find in my Art of Hand Lettering book. Snag yo’self a preorder if you haven’t already! amzn.to/2JwrklS

The Art of Hand Lettering for Beginners

A few months ago, I was approached by #CallistoMedia, a nonfiction book publisher, about writing a hand lettering book for beginners and it’s *finally* up for preorder!🥂🍾🙌🏼Visit amzn.to/2JwrklS to snag your copy! . This is months in the making - weeks of writing, late nights doodling and saying no to social events, but it was all worth it to see the final product in my hands this weekend. . The book covers the basics of lettering, contains 8 custom hand-lettered alphabets to practice with, has 20 DIY lettering projects and teaches you ways to find your own voice + style (plus a lovely foreword by the amazing @brookethesunsurfer). Annnnd...with an official on-sale date of December 18, it’s super affordable and the perfect Christmas gift for someone who wants to get into lettering. 🎁✨

I fall in love with the old world, sleepy beach town charm of Puerto Vallarta every time I visit. ✨🌴🌊

Tomorrow Needs You 🖤 . An important reminder for today’s #GoodtypeTuesday and their partnership with @twloha for Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. . Life is hard and it’s okay to feel like shit. . Answer when someone calls. Be nice. Tell the people you love that you love them. Say hi to the shy kid. Forgive. Hug your friends. Spend time with your family. Life is too short to take for granted and a small act of kindness can go a long way. We never know what’s going on inside someone’s head and heart. 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmc9AhBfRh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nxhrbnp6vhrl
