26 Letters 26,000 Miles
You are most likely familiar with Lauren Hom's work, her lettering seems to be everywhere! She recently announced she will be spending a year traveling the world, and she has created a series of travel posters to help fund her expenses. Head on over to the 26 Letters 26,000 Miles website to learn more, but I will be purchasing this one. With my love of letters and traveling, what better endeavor to support!
Alphabet of the Month
Welcome to the very first "Alphabet of the Month!" I find so many inspiring examples of lettering online, I thought it would be great to document some of my favorite alphabets I discover. You may have seen Alice Mourou's Blossom Type on Pinterest, I know I have, but it's great to see the entire alphabet together. Take a look at her website for an even better glimpse into the process that went into creating these letterforms.

Sign Painters The Movie
This past Friday I joined several of my co-workers and went to AIGA KC's screening of Sign Painters: The Movie. I truly recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in hand-lettering, or documentaries in general. It was fascinating to not only watch the sign painters in the film execute their craft, but also to hear their commentary on this traditional skill. Take a look at the trailer for the movie posted below:
Jessica Hische Forever Stamp
I love this interview with Jessica Hische about the lettering she created for the USPS. Perhaps this will be the stamp I use when sending out our wedding invitations... take a look!
