If you have been to a conference but didn't see the value in them, give this one a try before you give up on them. If you have been to Creative South...

  4. Daybreak Process Daybreak Process — I am currently working through one of my largest lettering projects to date. I thought it would be good to show a vital step in my vectoring process. After my refined pencil sketch, I scan it in and create the first pass through the vector machine. Once I am pretty happy with it on screen I always print it out and mark it up, which is shown here. This step is vital and gives me a whole differen...

That i...
  13. STUD MUFFIN STUD MUFFIN — Here is the second installment of my collaboration with my son. He just recently turned 6 months old, so it was time for more photos! I came up with Stud Muffins for $6 dollars and I squeezed in mos. instead of the change that would normally accompany the price.

Through my day job @elementthree, @inch_x_inch, freelance and @letterfarm I more than doubled what I did last year. It’s not all about quantity, but this year I wanted to push myself to do more and explore more. It’s always important to take a moment to look back and all of this will lay the groundw...
