one of my all time fave songwriters on one of his most magical lyrical parables. this one always takes me to a soaring sweet place. ⭕️✨
in keeping with (self imposed, completely unsolicited) tradition, I hereby offer a handful of vintage vegas-inspired renderings of lyrics by t. alison swift on her twelfth official outing.
take this more as a comment on my current energy levels than the album itself, but I managed to keep it ???? for these pretty and witty lil badges, which should speak for themselves (knock on wood) ????

the way @expedition33official has transformed my idea of what’s still possible out there for creatives coming together and making magic cannot be overstated. this game has sunken its roots deep into my artist’s heart, as a loud and indelible love letter to all the crafts it represents — writing, music, visual imagination, voice acting, gaming and game mechanics — and I’m just so grateful that this story exists in the canvas of my life ⚔️ huge kudos to the small-but-mighty team at @sandfallgames for showing the world what passion can create.
the juxtaposition of belle epoque, art noveau and art deco elements come together to form a distinct visual style in this game, and I couldn’t miss the chance to play with that for some lettering fanart here ✨???? ok GO PLAY IT NOW

leaning into my favorite sounds of late to rev up the creative engines and lo and behold a series is emerging. tale as old as time: inject songs of raw, obsessive, soul-flaying loyalty straight into my veins ⚡️
This week, we’re going back to CropCop, and our awesome conversation with @Dandrawnwords - hand-letterer, illustrator, designer and founder of @DestinyKidLabs.
Dan’s story isn’t the usual straight-line career. He went from chemical engineering to running creative teams, to building a life around lettering, illustration and teaching others to push their craft.
Our conversation dives into the moments that shape us, like that one teacher who makes you believe you can do this, and the early influences that steer you towards design. We talk about the future of lettering, why chasing trends will burn you out, and how AI is stripping away the muscle memory that’s supposed to guide our choices as designers.
It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s packed with lessons that hit home for anyone trying to make their mark in this industry.
This special episode of The Angry Designer is out NOW!

because one person lost to suicide is too many.
september is Suicide Prevention Month, and i’m so honored to join To Write Love on Her Arms to share a dream that’s true no matter who you are, what you think, what you fear, or what you’ve done: i hope you stay.
tomorrow may not be the day everything turns around, but there is forever a tomorrow when everything can. good things grow slowly. and there are so many, including myself, who genuinely want to be there to see that flourishing.

yes. yes it does.
sick for the weekend but remembering that sometimes showing the progress is just as valuable on a platform so here are some sneak peeks of some procreate canvases that haven’t made it to 100% yet ✌️
