Today is a great day!

I was really inspired this week by this interview with designer Lisa Congdon, a kick-ass illustrator and surface designer. So I've been spending some time practicing my hand lettering. It's something I end up doing a lot naturally when I'm doodling, but I haven't really thought about combining them.

Here's a tasting of some practice alphabets. True story, I love writing the alphabet in script over and over. As demonstrated here. I know that's weird but maybe weird in a good way?

Here's another example where I combined lettering and my usual eye-melting handmade patterns. Too bad I didn't have anything more interesting to say... hmm.

Oh wait, here's something more interesting to say... its a theoretical logo for my blog if I was more grown up and less snarky. My alter-ego is so sophisticated ;o)

Out of Context, Pt. 3

I know I said part three was going to be weird things my mom says, because she does say weird things, I just have apparently not been writing them down recently.

Instead, to be perfectly fair in this series of ridiculous things people say, here are some things I that I have said recently, illustrated and taken completely out of context.

Kevin would like me to note that he enjoys beets so this popsicle would not result in extreme dissapointment.

Names removed to protect the innocent.

All old ladies come complete with a walker, an over-sized, deformed cat and huge dark sunglasses. It's really gross. Trust me.

BONUS: I didn't say this, but I plan to include questions like this in my everyday conversation from now on. Like, does a peanut KNOW about peanut butter? Think about it. I could do this all day.
