TypeOh! Tuesday #35

Happy Tuesday! The letter O is up this week, and I spent a bit of time making a monogram for my pooch, Nuna. A little embarrassing to admit, but I recently discovered the width tool in illustrator and wanted to get the hang of it, and whenever I need a test word, I usually go for Nuna. Nuna ended up being just the N (with a hint of a P) as it took me a little while to get all of my anchors and handles just right, but I'm really happy with how it turned out (she's pretty stoked about it too-see pic below). Have a great week!

exciting stuff

Here's my news, as promised! Sunday, while cruising through a lot of the design blogs I follow, I happened to see my artwork on abduzeedo's front page on my top sites! I went to the site, and sure enough, my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. A little more attention for the coffee lettering..you can see the full post here, and screenshots are below. Special thanks to Ian for sending it in!

Happy Tuesday! The letter N is up this week. The other piece, 'don't go' I made a few weeks ago after my sister shared the ride back to Georgia with me after the holidays. I only had a few days with her here, then I had to let her go on a flight back to NY. They were a super fun few days I didn't want to end, and I definitely didn't want to let her leave..you can imagine I said "don't goooo!" quite a lot..

I also have some exciting news I'll post either later today or tomorrow, as my eyes are hardly staying open while I type this morning. Have a great Tuesday!

Snow and Ice in Atlanta

The storm we had Sunday through Monday hit Atlanta like I've never seen before. We had so much freezing rain which turned to ice and stayed there, that with the cold weather we've had lately, the roads still aren't safe. Since I have a pretty long commute, I've been watching the news every night to see when I can tackle the drive again, and the other night, the news showed the below video of someone actually ICE SKATING on peachtree street in atlanta. That's how much ice were on the roads..pretty amazing/insane. Check it out!

Happy Tuesday! The letter M is up this week. I realize that it's a little ridiculous that my second piece is titled 'gelato'..especially with all of the ice and freezing temperatures the south experienced this past weekend the last thing anyone should be thinking about is chowing down on some quality gelato...but that's what I did last night. and the night before. Consider it wishful thinking for warmer weather, I guess. Anyway, the letter M and some gelato this Tuesday. Have a great week! (also, happy 1.11.11!)

Happy first Tuesday of 2011! The letter L is up this week, and a little bit of hello and goodbye. I had a conversation with my mom the other night about how I always feel like I'm saying goodbye and all of my hellos seem short lived. Hoping it's not always this way, but for now, something I've got to live with, I suppose.. but Hello, 2011, it's nice to have you :o)
