As technology continues to change our lives as we know it, those of us with a love for nostalgia are holding on to the things we simply cannot live without barely by our fingertips. As an artist, I have always had a love for old techniques that have laid the groundwork for the societal structures of today. At the very top of my list of obsessions lies hand lettering. Like the common CD or simple single use tools of the 50s, people have deemed handwriting and hand lettering a thing of the past. Little do most commoners know that hand lettering has steadily been making a comeback and has been using social media to build a die hard, letterform loving, cult like following of admires and curious artist. Those artists who choose to share their work with the world have been receiving mad love with follower growth by the thousands in no time. These individuals are highly enthusiastic about the work they are presenting and so are we. There are for sure some industry rock stars killing it that I haven't stumbled across just yet, but for now let me give you a taste of what a few of these artist are working with. They are truly a motivation to go find a box of Crayola markers (yes, those markers you used in elementary school!), a stack of paper, and make shit happen. I can't promise that you won't see some of my prototypes up on our pages in the near future. For now keep up with some of these artist and bask in your newest obsession.
