Sketchbook
Sketchbook, 2013 onward
113 pages from the black book, where most of my lettering starts. Pencil on dot grid: ampersands and numerals, drop caps with the flourishes still being worked out, a Dribbble meetup poster for Yahoo, coffee-station signs for Facebook, a Boulder, Colorado wordmark, and the odd hummingbird or rose when the letters needed a break. Nothing here is finished and that is the point: the pencil work is where the shapes get decided.
