@ericnyffeler - l am super excited, flattered, and/or losing-sleep-nervous that the good people at @wemakepdx have invited me to participate in their truly inspiring SketchXchange series! I will be covering the walls of their headquarters with every scribble, scrapple, and chunk of colored paper that I've made in the last few years. There will also be a Q & A / discussion moderated by Portland design celebrity @brettpstenson, so you know I'm guaranteed to say something embarrassing once or twice. This event takes place on Friday, January 5th at 6:00pm, so hurry up and pick up a ticket, which comes with a complimentary 9" x 9" screenprint designed by yours truly! WeMake just posted an interview with me, which will give you a little more insight of what to expect from the event (link in profile).

Had a great time at “26 - A Lettering Show” put on by @wemakepdx last night as part of Design Week Portland. Came away with this haul 😍 I always jump at the chance to collect art, and at $20/print I couldn’t say no. First image is “Howl at the Moon” by Brett Stenson (@brettpstenson) and “Stay Gold” by Colt Boldon (@coltbowden). Second image is a giveaway from lettering artist Jordan Metcalf’s (@jordan_metcalf) talk on Tuesday evening. Last image is one I screenprinted myself with the help of the IPRC (@iprc_pdx). Portland is so full of talent and support for artists. WeMake (@wemakepdx) is a nonprofit that supports arts education in the Portland area. Check them out!! It fills me with gratitude to see the artists from around the world who donated these prints and the staff at WeMake who work tirelessly to make these events happen. You’re all killing it 💪🏼 . . . #portlandoregon #portlandartists #wemakepdx #designweekportland #letteringartists #staygold (at Portland, Oregon)

DAY 1: FAVOURITE TO MAKE #marchmeetthemaker 🌿 I think my favourite piece to date is my birdhouse for a @wemakepdx show back in 2016. I used such a variety of materials and it was at this point that I realised how much I like mixing mediums and adding in nature too (hence all my work since 😉). 🌿 This was my version of a birdhouse, created from a variety of natural and man made materials and it looks NOTHING like I’d planned. I had to go with it as I was on a time frame and couldn’t start again but once I embraced it, I loved it. And now it’s my favourite piece so far. And of course a few years later it informed the base of my solo show ‘Subconscious Dwellings’. 🌿 #art #originalcharacter #originalart #uniqueart #thefeelings #tayloredcuriosities #birdhouse #dollshouse #handmade @handmade_hour #characterdesign #mixedmedia #naturalart #ukart #designertoys #designertoy https://www.instagram.com/p/Buf8w4MnWOj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qp4jcsw2nqkk

Top 10 Typographers to Follow on Instagram

Register today for the free course “5 Skills Every Design Needs to Know.”

With April being Typography month at HOW, we’re excited to share some of our favorite typography accounts on Instagram. Typography may be an old art, but it’s seeing a revival today with the current crop of illustrators taking up hand-painted signage, curvaceous illustration and even a renaissance of blackletter. While not everyone is using movable type these days, the art of type is thriving. And with Instagram as the top sharing platform for designers, it’s no wonder that “typoholic” is a hashtag. From Amsterdam to California, here are some of the best lettering, illustration and type feeds to get designers inspired every day.

10 Great Typographers to Follow on Instagram

We’ve written about the brilliant Gemma O’Brien before, but we can never quite get enough of her work. If you’re not already following her Instagram account, be sure to start for an infusion of her latest works and inspirations in your feed. @mrseaves101

  I have an artwork in the upcoming “26” show presented by @wemakepdx for Portland Design Week. The exhibition opens April 19th and features 26 lettering artists from around the world: @jessicahische, @nickmisani @erikmarinovich @martinaflor and @jordan_metcalf to name a few! Each artist was asked to create a word or phrase in the WeMake colours: black, metallic gold and orange. The final 9×9 pieces were beautifully screen printed by @seizurepalace in limited editions of 40. They go on sale on opening night in Portland and will be available online via WeMake afterwards. 100% of the proceeds go towards arts education. Get your hands on one if you’re lucky!
