I've had gouache on my to-learn list for a while, so I was so happy to see it on this month's material list for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social Portfolio Club!

Though I still have to color in my September minis from the Lettering Class at @makeartthatsells.bsky.social, I'm too excited not to post the ones I finished so far for this month! For this assignment, I did a travel poster of LA for some humor. 😁 #handlettering #midcentury #illustration #travelart

I haven't used my exacto knife or painted with coffee in quite some time! Thanks, @lillarogers.bsky.social, for such a fun mini in your Lettering Course! I'm having a blast! #handlettering #illustration #editorial @makeartthatsells.bsky.social

Finished my assignment for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social Lettering Bootcamp. We had to design a soap label. I came up with the name Bubbly Buttercup just because it sounded fun. Plus who wouldn’t like drawing bubbles and flowers! 😄 #handlettering #packagingillustration #illustrator #buttercups

I just finished up this soap packaging idea for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social lettering class. TBO I was avoiding cursive for a many years because I know gen Z’s never learned it, and it’s hard for them to read. What do you think, foes it have a future? #lettering #cursive #calligraphy #art
