#masteringhandlettering

I’m on @perspectivepodcast!. ✨ I met Scotty of @prspctv_cllctv online in 2014 and we were all new to sharing our hand-lettering work in Instagram. Oh how we’ve grown! Scott’s killing it with his podcast and dope illustrative lettering while I’ve built my own creative business!. ✨ It’s funny because a few years ago, we were all like the new kids on the block, learning lettering and trying to attract clients and build our audience! Those years, I’ve seen how Scotty started his podcast and now I’m guesting on it! ✨ I know how he values great work and his audience and you can see from all the content he’s producing that he’s not an average guy! He’s awesome and I adore him! ✨ We get to talk about my story, my lettering journey and how I advocate greatly on understanding, loving and serving your audience well. This episode is very special to me. ✨ Learn from our experiences. Learn from us. We were connected and years ago, we don’t even have clients! We are doing the same thing and yet we’re friends and we help each other! That’s how it’s supposed to be! This isn’t a competition. Share whenever you can. Give when you can. Because, my love, in the online world, you need more friends! You won’t be able to build a community if you think everyone’s a competition. ✨ Go to the link in my profile or @perspectivepodcast and give this episode a listen and then make friends! You’re in one of the best platform to do it! 😉 . . #perspectivepodcast #myedeleon #masteringhandlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwo-m7QnzQS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bu9lyemssz5t

It’s been a year since we launched @masteringhandlettering - This book was a dream! When I started lettering I promised myself one day, I’m going to publish my own book. One day. 🌟 I kept that wish in my heart and worked relentlessly, pursuing a career I knew I was born for. When I was approached by an agent to co-author a book, I declined and politely told her I can’t do the project because I have plans of publishing my own book someday.. 🌈 You know that saying from The Alchemist - “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” I have lived like that all my life. When I put my mind and heart into something, every fiber of my being works toward achieving it. No goal is too big for me. I always look at greater possibilities. ❤️ How many times have someone told me they want to do something only to be followed up by BUT. If you want something so bad, BUT should not be in your vocabulary. Instead, change it to HOW. How can you make it happen? How can you fix your schedule so you can have time to practice? You want to change your life? Then, it’s time you change your perspective. #masteringhandlettering (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeaqAbnTdd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19o9dmm72x5y8

Still having those crazy holiday sugar rush? I remember being like that a year ago but this year, I managed to escape the temptations. Yay me! We had a pretty simple celebration this year and it was still amazing. Anyways, my schedule has been completely off and changing until help arrives by end of month but I’m managing to get a few things done. Like working 14hrs a day to 2hrs a day now? Crazy huh! But I’d rather go with the flow than complain how my day sucks. Well, sometimes I complain about the people 😂 can’t help it. Kidding aside, when life doesn’t seem to work out, look at the bright side. Sulking isn’t gonna help you make a living anyway so might as well just enjoy the ride! 😂#masteringhandlettering (at Singapore)

It’s been 3 months since the release of @masteringhandlettering and it still feels surreal! This behind the scenes documentation has been extra helpful in sharing bits and pieces of what transpired during the production process. Always make an effort to document your process and your progress. You can thank me later 😉 . P.S. Links to purchase the book in my profile. For Dutch (Masterclass Handleterren) and French (Lettrage), please check your local bookstores. . 📷 @johannmolophotography . . #masteringhandlettering (at Asia/Singapore)

It’s Christmas weekend! Officially breaking my Instagram hiatus despite the difficulty working around here without help. Weekend is coming so Kris is going to be around. Usually I don’t like weekend because the gang’s all here but this month, I totally appreciate every hand I could get so I can do my thing! I may be back from vacation but not back to normal. Trying to stay as calm and relaxed as possible so I don’t lose it. 😂 I wish you all warm holiday weekend! . 📷 @johannmolophotography . #lettering_co #artistoninstagram #createeveryday #exploreandcreate #capturinghappiness #myedeleon #masteringhandlettering #handletterer (at Mellower Coffee Singapore)
