Some #radio waves for #INKTOBER. I know, I know.

A bit of #bulky type for #inktober. That’s it for today, caught up, spam over.

Here’s some wispy lettering for #INKTOBER, what’s a #wisp, I don’t know, too late to ask.

Aequitas. A bit of a #throwbackthursday type of deal.

This checks out, I vibe with it. instagram.com/adiorga

So, finally I could get back into the #Homwork challenge. This week’s about to letter something you would say to a younger you if you could go back in time. My answer is: IT’S OK TO MAKE MISTAKES, IT’S OK TO HAVE A BREAKDOWN ONCE IN A WHILE, IT IS OK NOT TO BE OK. Sometimes we pressure ourselves for being the best, for being always perfect. That’s what sometimes society tells you, if you’re not the best, don’t even try doing it. But what about satisfaction of doing something we love, even though we’re not the best at it? Life’s so much easier when you understand that it’s ok to be normal. When you’re not afraid of making mistakes, when you don’t want to be perfect all the time. ENJOY BEING YOU, THE BEST OF YOU, even though it’s “normal”. Thanks to @homsweethom for making me realize this for myself. @adobedrawing #homwork #lettering •

Day 26 of the #26challenge “Z”…the last day. trying to do this Z felt like trying to get work done on a Friday when your boss leaves. I drew two for today, color and a black. Thank you to everyone who watched this challenge happened, all of the new followers & to everyone who left any feedback, it’s much appreciated!

Day 25 of the #26challenge “Y” - Attempted to keep it as simple as possible and then just kept adding onto it. Kind of reminds me of a flower stem. Only 1 more day left of the challenge & it’s been a fun time!

Day 23 of the #26challenge “W” you know I had to bring it back to the drip style for the W. The shading effect was by accident if you look in the timelapse but ended up looking pretty cool.

how do you recreate a book cover that’s become so totally iconic? i guess you don’t. i guess instead u focus on what matters to u, to focus on the lettering and keep the color palette basically the same. anyway I finally bought one of the lettering grid packs from @stefankunz cause i felt i’d finally exhausted all my thoughts for the two free ones that @goodtype sponsored a few weeks back. ✨ and let me tell you it is a game-changer.

all dressed up (with nowhere to go) you’re really enojoying seeing eight different photos of the same project aren’t you look it took eight times as long as a normal project ?

i recommended this book to my dentist while her fingers were in my mouth and im recommending it to you too: “i know it’s about hockey but it’s really about right now. It’s about America post 2016 and our past and our future and everything that’s ever happened, even though it’s set in Sweden and it’s kinda sorta a little bit about hockey “bear town” is the kind of book that defies explanation because to explain it would be to ruin it. but it’s stunning. it’s “cat person” only it’s 432 pages and it’s not just about millennials if “the art of fielding” (my other favorite sports novel not actually about sports) was the baseball novel about our lives, then “bear town” is the hockey novel about our lives today anyway, read it. : Joshua Fuller and Christian Holzinger @unsplash

my favorite part of lettering is the typos you can’t cntrl-z #heatembossed

1️⃣ more books should feature quotes from their pages on their covers 2️⃣ mild illegibility is fine when it’s art right? we could just metallic emboss in actuality right? 3️⃣ is there a book you’re fond of from childhood I should recover?

a cheeky little cover for for a v powerful collection of little stories real talk, one of these took my breath away which is high high praise from someone who hates short stories with the passion of a hundred ☀️ I should have known, @rgay can do no wrong.

same same but different

my first thought was to make these all the same, just in sliiiightly different shades of pink and then i got bored so we go together, but we’re different also, mother’s day is tomorrow, did you get your momma something special yet?

can I letter the entirety of Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun or…? my love and thanks to all the people in my story.

i just want everyone to embrace a little bit of their inner pink, okay

if anyone has seen me in the last month, you’ll know that this little pirate show is my new and undying obsession. I want to talk about it with everyone. (s/o the folks at dailyblacksails on tumblr who are doing an Edward Teach appreciation week for finally getting me to make some proper fanart).

sometimes using photographs as backgrounds feels like cheating. i haven’t read this book in a decade (or more im suddenly realizing how old i am) but my memories are oh so fond of this Hamlet-told-from-Ophelia’s POV YA romp. @anniespratt from @unsplash

hello hi it’s been a decade, which is approximately how long it took to draw shades on each of these seven zillion letters and I don’t even know if I like it ❔ but this is the year of our lord 2018 and second guessing myself is so last year anyway this book is great and the movie is great and I just finished the sequel/companion piece which is you guessed it, also great anyway hit me up with more book suggestions i am getting back on the

you know what’s a really great way to practice your envelope calligraphy?? spell your best friend’s name wrong so you have to turn it into a random sample so at least you can post the images on insta without leaking anyone’s real address ✒️ then invent a last name that kinda sounds real—which is way easier said than done, especially when you’re trying to name characters for a novel anyway, happy belated birthdat to @mkhyde623 , which is cool for me to say here ‘cause I already gave you the card in person.

really needed some stories about badass women who don’t let ridiculous shit take them down ♀️ pick this one up of you’re feeling the same. it’s quick, it’s punchy, it’s meaningful now and probably always
