the supremely talented @homsweethom is giving away a scholarship to @letter_west this year and so if course im throwing my into the ring. Lettering is my happy place, because if I could have my way, I’d live inside novels and communicate only in beautiful stories. Words are the backbones of my favorite characters the way drawing letters may be mine. I’ve never lived in a world where I didn’t notice them, point them out to whomever I’m with, and entertain (or annoy) every friend and aquaintence and boss I’ve ever had with endless typeface trivia. Words are important, and I like it when the clothes they wear are just as important as what’s being said. Winning this scholarship would mean having an incredible opportunity to be among my people. My training so far has been purely in the classical sense, rooted in typography and calligraphy and as I expand my skill set, I’m most interested in adding more illustrative qualities to my work. I want depth and style and a little more motion and joy in my lettering, so as to affect in my audience what my favorite artists inspire in me. Plus, I just can’t wait to find even more people with whom I can swoon over a double storey g—completely and utterly unironically. ✏️ #letterwest (at Garden District, New Orleans) -- source link
