If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is. Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

From A to Z, plus one, the ampersand! Page by page, I made it through all 27. Time to start at the beginning?  #handlettering #sketchbooktour #letteringpractice #typestudy

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Mood for 2026: analog. Yes, I designed it digitally, but it was so satisfying to take the time to paint the cover of my new planner by hand.  Even though it was fiddly and I should have sealed the cloth first.  #handlettering #planner #artiststudio #art

Unreasonably excited to see sugar cream pie make an appearance in Stranger Things.

Drink coffee and pretend you know what you’re doing. One phrase, lots of ways to see it!  Love this lettering for a co-working space or coffee shop.

“Men Fear Women Will Laugh at Them; Women Fear Men Will Kill Them” Margaret Atwood

Attention Bluesky elders: The artist behind the ANIMORPHS covers is here!

A look into my digital sketchbook for everyone making room for the new this year.  5 words, 4 ways: Make room for new inspiration. #handlettering #letteringprocess #sketchbookpractice

Never stop looking up. A reminder tucked into stars, trees, and quiet space. One of my favorite recent pieces of digital lettering...coming soon to a mural near you?  #handlettering #digitallettering #galaxyart

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Feeling the winter AND candy land vibes of this window! Little details bring a hand-painted window to life. On this winter display, candy canes, greenery, and snowflakes all work together. #windowpainting #illustration #candyland

It's #artvartist2025 time! This isn't a top 9, but a year in review behind the scenes of my art biz. Although, my top is in there! Thanks for being here and supporting both the work and the human behind it.  There is more coming in 2026, and I can't wait to get into it!  #artistvsart #yearinreview

Pretty sure this weird post-Christmas, pre-New Year/Return to School week my favorite time of year.

New Year, New Series: Writing on the Walls.  First up:  how layout and lettering on a chalk menu can make a space work better for everyone. Thoughtful menu design helps people decide faster and reduces friction AND adds something special to the space.  #Lettering #MenuDesign

“Start before you’re ready.” A phrase I keep coming back to, especially this time of year.  #NewYearLettering #ChalkArt #ChalkMural

Welcome back artists! 🖌️🎨✨ Quote post with an old piece that you still like!

These two prints have been longtime favorites, and they’ll be retiring in 2026 as I make space for the new! I’m running a small art sale with code LastCall2025 for 15% off regular-priced items while these designs are still around. https://f.mtr.cool/yywpubedjs #Art #ArtSale #Lettering

As a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie fan, this New Yorker cartoon brings me great joy!

This holiday window started with an idea that became a sketch and slowly but surely turned into a full storefront moment. Right now, I'm booking clients for January and February.  Visit my website to claim your spot!  https://f.mtr.cool/urzdowawno #CustomWindowPainting #Louisville

“But as the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day.”

A little winter solstice reminder for the season: the darkest night produces the brightest stars. What are some good winter rituals I should try this year?  #Sketchbook #WinterSolstice #Art

Come January, all these designs are retiring, and I'll be drastically limiting offerings for any future prints or products,  so this feels like a little “last chance” moment for these retiring designs.  https://f.mtr.cool/wtypfkysuk

Bit of a dream interview. I got to chat with the props master from The X-Files (and Battlestar Galactica) www.heydannyitsmulder.com/episodes/epi...

Choose your fave! Working through a few “yule” sketches ahead of the winter solstice and loving how differently one word can behave in pencil.  #letteringstyles #art #skechbooklettering

Am I…proud? Of Indiana? What?

Ditching Calibri as a “wasteful diversity” font is both hilarious and sad. Here's a quick reminder of what Calibri actually is and why it matters. (1/2)

Most of my prints, cards, and stickers are wrapping up their time in the shop! If you’re looking for gifts, this week is the last window to get them in time for Christmas. https://f.mtr.cool/ylqkidshhm #lastcallsale #HolidayGifts2025 #smallbusinesslove

A little before-and-after from a big bar menu project. I love how hand lettering can shift the whole atmosphere of a space by adding that personal touch to the details. #Lettering #Art #Design

I don’t understand why people attempt to denigrate Hallmark Christmas films by referring to them as “too cheesy”, as if that is a bad thing? I mean, have you *had* cheese? It’s not exactly the insult that you think it is.

I have about 10 ornaments still available for custom orders! cwbletters.com/product/cust...

A little holiday fun - can you guess how much I sped up this time lapse?   Hint: it's more than 5x and less than 10x... #holidaylettering #art #christmasornament

This “cup of cheer” design is perfect for this holidays, and it’s fun imagining how it might work as a digital flyer or even a seasonal menu for a bourbon bar. Love seeing where one idea can go. #BrandDesignInspo #DigitalLettering

A little time-lapse of a holiday window I painted before Thanksgiving. Windows like this become a photo op, a feature wall, or a way for a business to show off its personality. I’ve got a few of December openings! #Louisville #CustomLettering #HolidayWindow

Holiday windows are one of my favorite ways to bring a little extra personality and cheer into a business space. I have 1–2 openings this December for custom window or chalkboard murals. Always excited to partner with local shops this season! #LouisvilleBusiness #WindowArt

Running on coffee and doing my best. Pretty much the theme of the season. Looking forward to a little pause next week.
