TypeOh! Tuesday #96

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all had a great weekend! It was amazing seeing my brother again; we hit up the Atlanta zoo, ate at some cool restaurants, watched a couple of movies, and took a walk with my pup along the Chattahoochee River. Really wish my family members lived closer, but I'll take what I can get :)
I've got a dribbble inspiration post this week.. I got invited as a player a few weeks back, so if you're on, follow me and I'll follow you back :) Click on any image to be brought to the player who shot it.

Is it already Tuesday? Time has been flying since starting my new job! I'm feeling a little guilty about not posting very often lately, but with all new things, there's definitely an adjustment period :) I'm really excited for this weekend because my brother and sister in law are driving down from Jersey and visiting me before my brother goes for some Air Force training in Alabama. I can't believe I just saw them last month and am already seeing them again :)

Anyway! I have a pretty awesome type story to share..Lettersketch was featured recently on the popular print design blog, FPO, and shortly afterwards, I received an email from James Edmondson who happens to be the very kick ass designer of some fonts that are all over the place lately..Duke, Lavanderia and Wisdom Script. He had recognized the Lettersketch pouch, where I used Wisdom Script to stamp 'sketchbook'. He wrote how much he loved the sketchbooks and was excited to see Wisdom Script used, and I responded by offering to send him some sketchbooks as a thank you for supplying us all with such great fonts through Lost Type. After he received the books, he sent me this pretty amazing thank you note to let me know they made it to him. Made my whole week, hands down.

Happy Tuesday! I realized I never posted the letterpress poster I recently created! There are a bunch of hand drawn elements in it, as well as some fun western-y typography. This was in collaboration with the Atlanta printer Henry + Co, who you can contact to purchase it, and it'll also be in a We Love Letterpress exhibit in Ohio where it'll be on display from April 20-May 19th. It was actually on display and sold at the BandWagon poster show in Savannah last weekend, too, and got a little love here, in a video recap of the show. View all the close ups and some production shots on my website here. Exciting stuff.

I just had a new item approved on graphic river yesterday - a Stationery company branding kit. I decided to use a font I hadn't played with before, Rex, a free font by fontfabric, so I thought I'd show how it all came out. Grab the other fonts used for free as well, Deming and League Gothic. Happy Tuesday!

TeelaC v. 3.0

I finished my portfolio site redesign at the end of last week! I like feeling like it grows aesthetically with me..I've done a redesign the last two years, so here's #3! (This one might last a little longer, because I'm pretty happy with it). Also converted to wordpress which will make updating sooo much easier. So, from this:



to this!

Happy Tuesday! It's an extra special Tuesday, because today is my 26th birthday! I can't believe how much my life has changed since starting this blog. One of my first posts happened on my 24th birthday and I was still working at the first job I had after graduating college. Now, after those two years, I'm preparing to begin my third job since graduation next Monday, I have started a legit business, I've created numerous print templates, started a freeware craft site, and met so many interesting people and learned so much about my industry. I can't wait to see where the next two years take me :)

I watched Say Anything last week on a whim..I can't remember where I saw the famous Cusack boombox-over-head scene recently, but it made me have to see the movie again. In the beginning, after the graduation ceremony, everyone's asking him what he's going to do with his life after high school and he replies, "I'm waiting for a dare-to-be-great situation." I like this minus the 'waiting' part. I bought this letterpress print a few months back that has the Eugene Ware quote: "all glory comes from daring to begin." Now that I think about it, I should have made this type "I'm a dare-to-be-great situation." Dang. Whatever. It's my birthday and it's already done. Have a kick ass February 28th :)
