The Letter D... again

I decided to re-do D I wasn't pleased with it at all!  So here is the a vintage 3d D :) Enjoy

Super Cute Pillows

Having difficulties find that perfect present for that designer/ art enthusiast in your life? Then do I have the perfect solution for you! Erin Flett, graphic designer/surface designer extrodinaire makes the CUTEST pillows!  They have a vintage feel and there is a color or design that could spice up any room! They are not only a perfect gift, but a perfect accessory to change up a room instead of doing a total room make over!

Not only is E a wonderful designer but she is a wonderful person, friend and cousin. She is my design hero and one of my greatest inspriations. If it wasn't for her I would probably be a journalist right now (no offense just not my scene)
To check out her stuff you can find her on the web or check out her etsy shop.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and good luck on those black friday steals (speaking of that if you become a fan of Erin's on facebook you recieve 35% off!! only tell monday) Happy Shopping!

These two are my favorites!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have been a terrible blogger lately... I haven't created any new fonts, or updated really anything for the simple reason I'm preparing my brain for break! After being on a computer for about 40 hours a week the next four days my time will be spent with my family, eating, taking pictures, coloring and enjoying the break. I hope you all take the next couple days to do nothing and enjoy life, because as much as I love what I do nothing makes the creative juices flow like a lot of food and interesting people that I love. So with that I will be back maybe sunday maybe monday who knows! Have a great thanksgiving. I love all four of you that follow me :)

New Orla Kiely!

Ok so thanks to the blog Poppytalk my Friday was started off fantastically when I discovered that Orla Kiely had new patterns! I love her simplistic colors and patterns. Not to mention they look straight from the Mad Men era... oh how I love Jon Hamm. That is a whole other post though.  Happy Friday :)

Happy Weekend

I know I haven't don D yet but I will I promise. I got distracted by a 30 minute dreamweaver tutorial that ended up being like 3 hours. Anywho it will be there by Monday hope every one has a great weekend :)

Todays Letter is B

Ahh Sesame Street thats what I feel like my blog has become an adult version of sesame street. So for all of you who have been dying to see what I come up with for the letter B the wait is over... cause here it is. It is inspired today by Colorado's weather. It was raining/snowing and couldn't really decide what it wanted to do... so I thought what would that look like in letter form and this is the conclusion. I actually really like this one... I'm hoping by Z my fonts will be amazing cause B is already way better then A... sorry a but you kinda suck ... A for effort though. I am also starting the sketching part of my Christmas cards.. .I'm thinking mustaches this year.

We will see :)

Happy Tuesday

Type Continues

So my inspiration to start this type "quest" is because of Jessica Hische. Her fonts are so fun! Check out the siracha one not only is it inspiring in the design aspect but it really makes me want to go to Noodles. Looking at her blog makes me realize I've got a long long way to go... and please feel free to tell me if the font could be a success or is a piece of sh*t :) I love constructive criticism. I have had b's on the brain all day.....

The letter A

Ok yes it is Monday...but I'm not doing wedding pictures yet.... on account of the bride and groom need to fully look at them first... so instead I'm revealing my latest and greatest project, or I should say exercise. I have always been very interested in type but I feel like its an area of improvement for me.

I'm not the kind of person that can just read about it and fully understand or appreciate typefaces. I need to actually attempt to make them which is what I am doing. I am going to for the next 26 days have 26 different letters with 26 different typefaces that I have made. They are going to be a little rough around the edges on account I have never made a typeface before so this is a whole new ball game. So more or less blog spot I am using this as my sketch book... because I am not taking significant amount of time on these they are done in about hour to get my ideas out there and in motion... and to inspire me. I have been so bored with my real job projects that I need to keep getting better as a designer and I need to really push myself and work hard to get where I want to go ... and being a lazy ass (excuse my language) isn't going to get me anywhere but on the couch and fat. End of Rant.

So enough of my babble here is the letter A. The name of the this typeface is called "The beginning" and not just for the obvious reasons that its the beginning of the alphabet but but its the start of this project... the start of new chapter in my design study, and well the letter form doesn't make a lot of sense and its hard to tell where it begins, its partly 3d partly not... anywhere could be the beginning.

Who knows what B will be? Until B
