Lettering

 

As part of my lettering practice, I write and draw out mini compositions of words and phrases to hone in on brush pen technique. This Old Fourth Ward piece came together so well, that I wanted to make something more of it. The tactile nature of letterpress printing was the perfect method to maintain the handmade qualities of brush pen lettering and celebrate my love for this historic Atlanta neighborhood.
