ALL DAY 😎🦄 . I’m SOOOOOO excited to finally have this addition to my Etsy shop! It only took me forever to get my first vinyl decals up 🙈😂. Better late than never! You may have seen this design in my feed before, but now it’s available as a decal that you can stick to basically anything. . Available in a variety of colours including this glorious holo 🌈⚡️ . From now until the end of May, save 10% off all decals (including all wall decals too!). Use coupon code CHNAR10 ❤️❤️❤️ (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Cuz blank bags are so boring...😜 Personalized gift bags just added to my Etsy shop✨ Perfect for bachelorette parties , weddings, birthdays or whatever your next big event may be 🎉. . Available in black, brown kraft and white. Black with gold lettering is my fave combo! What’s yours? (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas and mamas to be 🌷! . This year I switched things up by skipping the card and decorated a whole bag because why not? . Hope all you mamas out there are having a wonderful day ☀️

Happy World Lupus Day! 💜 Some of you, especially those new to my account, may be wondering...what is lupus 🤔? It’s one of the worlds most complicated yet least recognized major disease. I guess a simple way to explain it is that it’s a disease that attacks healthy cells, so if you have it, your immune system is attacking itself. A few symptoms include fatigue, swollen joints, vision impairment, hair loss and seizures. Sounds like fun right!? I’ve had this “oh so fun” disease for over 10 years 😑. Most of the time I look normal, but if you want to know the truth, I’m in a constant daze which I joke about because it makes the best out of a crappy situation and I’m a total goofball 😳😜. Over the years there have been amazing medical advancements in treating Lupus, so hopefully one day there will be a cure! (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Outside of art, health and fitness is a huge passion of mine 💪🏼 but I also love pizza...and pizza always wins on Fridays 🙈🍕❤️. #nosharing 🙅🏻‍♀️ . A little late getting this letting piece done for last week’s #homwork but better late than never 😉. (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

White on black lettering, yes please 🖤🖤🖤🙋🏻‍♀️. First time getting a request from a bride 👰🏻 to be through Etsy, for these modern lettering style place cards. I guess it’s a sign that I should probably include this type of product in my shop 🤔. . Wedding season is coming fast, so be sure to send your custom requests to me asap ✨ (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Why bother right? 😏😈 . Finally jumped on board with @homsweethom ‘s weekly #homwork challenge. This week’s prompt to put a twist on a positive quote which totally sounds like something I would have done regardless of this challenge 😜...am I right!? (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

[lifewithchnarjohn]

Yes, everyone 😏😜 I’ve recently become obsessed over the true crime podcast @myfavoritemurder (thanks to @swilhel and @bemyspiritanimal 😘) so this lettering piece will make sense to you if you listen to them 🔪🔪🔪. . Btw #mfm is coming to Vancouver! Any murderinos going to their show here? 🙋🏻‍♀️ (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

First time trying out a mono line style script and thought it would be fun to send out as a freebie, because why not right? 💁🏻‍♀️ . Was also curious to see how well it would hold up as a decal. Super thin and delicate but it works 💡 . This freebie is available in a few formats ready for use with craft cutting machines like the #Cricut and #silhouette .

Hard to believe it’s April even though it’s already the 3rd of the month 😱. I blame the super long and fun Easter weekend 🐣🐰🌷. Picked up a set of glitter @sharpie paint markers today and had to test ASAP 😜. They do have a glittery paint, but it’s more on the metallic side which is still ok 😉. I guess I was hoping for glitter to pour out as I wrote 🦄 #wishfulthinking Anyone know of any good glitter paint markers out there? . . . . . #glitter #glittermarkers #sharpiepaintpens #sharpie #lettering #april #easter #florals #lineart #linedrawing #handlettering #tyxca #hellospring #letteringvideo

I know this looks like a disaster but it was actually a really fun process and it’s the first steps of something that hopefully turns out ok🤞🏼😬. I finally crawled out of my procrastination cave and I’m finally working on my first font ✨ One thing I didn’t realize was how many different characters and symbols there were outside of the English language until after I wrote out almost every single one 😵. #learningeveryday . . Any letterers here on IG turn their hand lettering into a font? 👋🏼 . . . . #fonthustler #everytuesday #fontmaking #fontmaker #happyletters #lettering #letteringartist #vancityart #handmade #handmadefont #typography #wip #workinprogress #font #moderncalligraphy #modernscript

Thank goodness for screen protectors and phone cases...😬 I’m usually very careful and almost never drop my phone, so when this crack showed up after dropping it on carpet of all places 🤷🏻‍♀️ (it may have hit one of Little Foot’s training dowels on the way down..? I dunno 🐰), let’s just say it freaked me out a bit. . One thing I’ve noticed over the years, are the number of ppl out there with naked phones (no protective case)...how are you not worried you’ll bust your phone!? Do any of you do this? . . . #glassscreenprotector #oops #sharpie #sharpieart #brokenscreenprotector #lettering #sharpielettering #spring #rainydays #handlettering #handlettered

Although today marks the first day of spring, it sure doesn’t feel like it over here in Vancouver ☁️😏. I guess it’s just a work in progress much like this piece 😉🌷 . . . #spring #springlettering #springletteringchallenge #hellospring #sharpielettering #ikea #spring2018 #wip #workinprogress #letteringvideo
