A Glass of PositiviTEA

Over the years my hand lettering has combined itself with other mediums, and my love for puns. I had taken photos for a cookbook project, and this picture of iced tea was one of my favorites. After seeing the "positiviTEA" pun in one of my sketchbooks, I instantly thought back to this photograph. It's eye-catching not only from the refreshing glass of tea, but also the lettering and creative use of words surrounding it. 

Check out some of my other pun-inspired creations below.

"Delicat" Original Typeface

After years of putting my (brush) pen to paper, it was time to create an official typeface for my lettering style. 

While I can create many different type styles by hand, this typeface went back to what I have done the longest and where I feel most comfortable. My goal was to create a "delicat" (french for delicate) typeface that had a contrast of fine lines and bold downstrokes. This was to create a feminine type that is strong and can stand out on its own.
