This Valentine's Day I was lucky enough to be a part of a video series shared over on Think.Make.Share's Instagram. Take a look at my video below, and be sure to take a look at all the video's on Instagram using the hashtag #hallmarkletterslove. I hope you all have a wonderful day spent with those you love!
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!
Present & Correct
I recently discovered Present & Correct, a lovely company with the slogan "office sundries for the modern workspace." Their offering includes a quirky combination of office supplies, prints, and things for the home. Below are just a few things I would love to have in my office space, if only they shipped the typewriter to the U.S. Enjoy!
Ceramics Exploration
During my internship at Hallmark I had a chance to explore my creative voice in the Ceramics Studio! You may remember I traveled to Spain last March, and I decided to create ceramics pieces inspired by the many beautiful doors I photographed.
These are just a few of the many beautiful doors I saw as we traveled from city to city. I loved the geometric shapes and the details. When it came time to start creating I decided I wanted to simplify the forms I was seeing to bring out my favorite pieces.
I grew up taking clay classes in the summer, but I am by no means experienced when it comes to ceramics. I documented the entire process to help me remember the steps I took and to see how the pieces evolved. There is a certain element of uncertainty in ceramics which is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. The plate I was sure would be my least-favorite ended up being the one I have displayed at home. I was thankful to have this time during my internship to make and explore a less familiar medium. To take a look at other work I created during my summer internship head on over to my portfolio.
