TypeOh! Tuesday #91

Happy later-than-usual Tuesday! What a crazy past couple of days it has been! Friday I left Atlanta around 7am and made the 14 hour drive to New Jersey where my brother and sister in law live. My brother is in the Air Force and is moving to California in a few months, so it was the last time the whole family would be able to get together before he moved. So, my parents and sisters drove 6 hours from upstate NY and we all met for the weekend. My sisters had no idea I was coming, so the surprise on their faces alone was worth it :) I drove back yesterday, so I'm a little exhausted today, but still wanted to keep with TypeOh! tradition, so today I'm sharing something you might have seen already - it's been making its way around the internet pretty quickly. The students at the Society of Design in PA wanted to invite amazing typographer Jessica Hische to speak...by literally changing their PA license plates as their formal invitation! Pretty rad if you ask me. (She totally said yes) See the full invite details at invitinghische.com!

TypeOh! Tuesday #90

Happy Tuesday and Happy Valentine's Day! Since Vday does land on a Tuesday, I thought I would use it to showcase some extra special words to me. This lyric is from my second favorite song by Ben Folds. This is my first. The best [first] date I have ever been on was flying kites. I had no idea that's what we were going to do, and when he pulled them out of his trunk, they were the boxy kind we first had to assemble. We tried so hard to make them take off on a non windy day to little avail, while park onlookers had their chuckles. It was awesome. One of the best days I think I've ever had, actually. And this lyric I think is metaphorical to life itself. That many, if not most of the time, we feel like randomly flying kites, landing and taking off, always trying to connect the seemingly nonsensical points of interest. I guess I could keep going with pulling this all apart, so instead I will say have a wonderful Valentine's day! The song these lyrics come from is posted below :)

TypeOh! Tuesday #89

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would do something a little bit different this week and showcase just some regular handwriting. I love Leah's daily thank you notes; I stumbled across one posted on another blog a few months back and have been reading them ever since. Every little note is a thank you, even for things you couldn't expect to give a positive thought to. I love her outlook, and it reminds me that even in unfortunate or commonly depressing sorts of situations, there is always a bright side worth digging for. Hope you enjoy a little glimpse into her notes..here's her site if you want to peruse further!

TypeOh! Tuesday #88

Happy Tuesday! I had the luck of coming across the gig posters by Methane Studios this past weekend, and I have to say..there is some pretty fantastic type on some of these. And the best news? If you find one you like, you can get it! Enjoy the inspiration :)

Fab Shipments

This happened a couple weekends ago. After my massive sew-a-thon (see paper pic below), I boxed up and shipped out all of the orders received through our Fab sale, so I thought I'd share pictures of all those sketchbooks that art will be being made on. What could make an artist happier than that?! Vehicle for creation distributed nationwide? Mission accomplished. I'm a pretty happy little lady.
