Hey Lovelies... Let’s chat. Just for a second. Okay? Cool. So... Lettering is fulfilling As FUHHH am I right? But it can also be frustrating and depressing as hell. Most of the time... we can’t recognize our own talent for the AMAZINGNESS that it is because we are so focused on getting smoother, and more intricate, and faster, and better, and more like this person, and adding this skill and that skill, and teaching it to other people... and all of the sudden BOOM. You have a crisis of your artistic identity. Well... maybe you don’t... but I have had this happen more than once. I’m a weak person... okay? But then... the art gods... or just Merciful God (whichever you want to believe) sprinkles down these little Lettering Tribe Angels that help pick you up, dust you off, kick your butt, and get you back in a creative and artistic place. I have SO many Lettering and Art Angels that bless my life each day. The listen to me when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when I’m broken, when I’m triumphant... and I try desperately to be an angel to them... because this whole artistic process is harder than an adamantium chastity belt. When we can’t trust the process for ourselves... we are so lucky to be in a community that trusts the process for us until we are able to again. To all my angels... I love you. Thank you for trusting when I can’t. Thank you for lifting me when I’m down. I’m forever indebted to you and I’m eternally grateful for your friendships. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ P.s. There are so many of you and I know I wasn't able to tag you all, but please know I'm grateful for you!!! 😘😘😘😘 . . . #calligracommunity #calligrabesties #calligrafriends #letteringfriends #lettertribe #letteringfamily #handlettered #handlettering #homemadehandlettering #letterit #lettering #brushlettering #letteringart #letterallthethings
