It has been SO long, I know, I know. I’m re-dedicating myself to LLBCT this year. I always start off strong in the 1Q and then wedding season hits and I get sucked into project after project with no strength to continue. I’m determined to change this narrative this year. EVERYONE makes the time and finds the money for what they value. I will have to do the same with balancing the calligraphy and the lettering.
I am taking a workshop on Sunday called Letter Like a Pro: Beginning Hand-Lettering Workshop! This course is being taught by Jennifer Hines. I met her on Instagram and she’s a wonderful artist. She started The Chicago Lettering Club which has become a nice resource for me as I continue this lettering journey.
Basic goals for the New Year is to obviously post more and create more. I also want to sell prints of my work. It would be so awesome to actually get a commission but I need to beef up my portfolio first. I picked up a great resource called 100 Days of Lettering. I’d been seeing this hashtag being used on Instagram so as I went through it, I got an “aha” moment. Its got GREAT prompts and its just what I need right now.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I’m back and I’m not going anywhere this time!
Cheers to 2019!
