  4. Creative South 2016 Creative South 2016 — Almost a year ago I created this handlettered piece for some Creative South t-shirts.

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...
  5. 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...
  18. 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. I took about 100 photos and it just so happened that he looks like he is flex'n in this one. Once again, it was fun to work on a larg...

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...
  23. Dare Mighty Things Dare Mighty Things — Late last year I did this lettering piece for href="https://www.rsvlts.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RSVLTS.com. It is based off the lettering I originally created for my Midwest t-shirt. It was a lot of fun expanding/improving on some letters I had originally drawn back in 2015. I also threw in a custom uppercase RSVLTS to fill in the gap between 'Mighty' and 'Things'. Art direction by Jo...
