Ok, so I kind of bumped into a personal project by accident… Lauren Hom of HomSweetHom lore has an online class she opens up twice a year called “Passion to Paid”. Basically turning a passion project into a paid deal. She did this with her book Daily Dishonesty where she turned a Tumblr blog into a printed book. Crazy. She’s got great ideas and great passion.
I haven’t been able to think of anything THAT cool to do, but I DID buy a cheap $3.99 hard bound sketch pad from a discount outlet and I started lettering short phrases. Just a note, I’m a fan of short phrases because they really help you along in terms of composition and becoming a stronger letterer.
Anywho, I got stuck on phrases that began with “Be”. So weird and really nothing behind it except it really gave me a chance to focus on letter construction and a simple declaration. I ended up filling the ENTIRE sketchbook with these phrases and started an IG so that they could be “housed” away from my other lettering!
