I want to get better at drawing faces, so I sat down the other night after a long day at work and just...drew some faces. Often the most radical things we can do are the simplest. — I recently reached out to a fellow creative for some advice, and I was blown away by her kindness and clarity. It was a welcome reminder of the humanity of the people I look up to in this space, and that I need to back up, slow down, and just do the work. Often I worry so much about focusing and growing, but trusting that showing up every day will bring me places I can’t even plan for is also a big part of the process. — So here’s to finding some quiet and focusing on doing the work rather than the finished product. Thelma’s here for it, and so am I. Also Thelma is the only face I drew the other night that I was proud of (out of ~10 😂). Thanks again, @bydylanm—you are the biggest sweetheart! 🥰 #illustration #dothework #creativecommunity #fellowcreatives #womensupportwomen #supportfellowcreatives #drawingfaces #illustratingpeople #illustrating #womendrawingwomen #creativejourney #creativepath #newenglandcreative #newenglandartist
I’m getting this @goodtype #goodtypetuesday in just under the wire because I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I missed an opportunity to throw my name in the ring to win a ticket to @letter_west. I started lettering as an outlet working cold nights at an ice cream shop, and I’ve worked consistently at this practice for four years now, but the only community I’ve found with it is online—here and on @skillshare. It would be a dream come true to learn from some of my favorite artists and get to meet other letterers in person! #handmadetype #letterwest #lettering #letterer
Buttons! And food! These fun and delicious button packs are now in the shop, and I’m just getting started. If you have additional food or any button designs you’d like to see—let me know! I’m excited for jean jacket weather so I can start showing these bad boys off. #buttonmaker #pinmaker #badges #wedontneednostinkinbadges #foodpins #foodaccessory #snacks #snackbutton #etsyhandmade #etsyseller #foodillustration #foodillustrations #snackillustration
Raise your hand if you love coffee and @myfavoritemurder 🙋🏻‍♀️This started as a (forthcoming) mug design and morphed into a little pattern + lettering combo, and I love it! My plan for this Friday is to keep hacking at my to do list (for my day job), finish the rest of this pot of coffee, and play catch up on #mfm! I’m on the Black Dahlia episode, so no spoilers, pleeeease. Hanging with #karenandgeorgia feels like a bonus Galentine’s Day. #truecrime #coffeeattic #attic #coffeeaddict #lovecoffee #coffeelettering #handlettering #lettering #newenglandartist #madeinmassachusetts #ssdgm #staysexyanddontgetmurdered #podcasts #podcastlove #truecrimepodcast
