Over a million tiny dots! A little over a year after starting this piece, I finally laid down the final touches. I’ve been working on this in waives, fighting the dread of knowing just how much tedious work something like this takes. I also don’t recommend anyone to take this long on anything, as my artistic style has changed over that time and I know I would have done things differently if I had started it now. . Nonetheless, here it is in all its glory. ‘Amsterdam wouldn’t be the same without you’, it reads in Dutch. I made this for my mother, who moved to Amsterdam from a small Dutch town seven years ago. I know this city makes her much happier, and I know that she does her part to make the city a better place (she works in mental health and does a lot of community work). The city grid is as accurate as I could get it and features some of Amsterdam’s most recognizable monuments. Inspired by Dutch Art Deco, the corner ornaments are styled after the Netherlands’ famous tulips. Detail shots to come! . I used a 005 micron on @strathmore 500 Bristol board (really nice paper 😍). Prints will be available soon and preorders are welcome! . . . . #amsterdam #amsterdamart #stippling #artdeco #artnouveau #victorian #amsterdamseschool #lettering #calligraphy #handlettering #design #laborintensive #type #goodtype #calligraphymasters #signpainting #typography #typegang #handdrawntype #TYxCA #thedailytype #typism @handmadefont @thedailytype @goodtype @illustrationartists @greattype @calligraphymasters (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

I'm no architect, but it is really exciting to design a goat house on paper and then watch it start to come together!! Hopefully it doesn't fall down! 🐐🏠 Do you have any construction projects you are proud of?? #allinadayswork #hardwork #satisfying #reddirtroad #laborintensive #callousedhands #doityourself #diy #arkansashomestead #homesteadarchitect #buildit #babygoats #goatsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4izKDnym5/?igshid=itne4fsssftt

Gosh! Making tacos everything from scratch is really a hard work and very time consuming... Just to satisfy my cravings! Didn't have the energy to make it pretty though. Just stuffed it up and devour. 😝😋👌🏻 . . . . #homecookedmeals #goodeats #tacosanyday #tacos #laborintensive #madefromscratch #mealzdaily https://www.instagram.com/p/CDya9Hol7ZC/?igshid=l34b06gjmhbj
