Happy New Year everyone!

Its been awhile but I’m back at it with a new project: Every Day Letter

Towards the end of this project my interest in lettering, writing and typography grew exponentially so this new project is specifically focused on that. I’m also going to be launching a separate 100 day project in the new few days so stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can check my daily progress over at  Every Day Letter

I'm going to reblog this once more in the next few days!

Day 1000: Well, here is the last post. I wanted it to be something epic, but I think that the message is more important. I think it's really easy to commit to something one day, and to forget about it the next, so a project like this really helped me focus on a goal, even if it was super crazy.

I enjoyed getting messages from you guys and even meeting others out in the real world. This project helped me forge some really amazing friendships and connections with different types of people that I normally wouldn't have. In a weird way it really helped me with my own anxiety and shyness, which is something I didn't expect.

While this part of my design life is done, I will be starting a new daily project in November. The format will be a little different and I will focus in on a specific discipline, but the sentiment will still be the same. I don't want to be comfortable and I think a change up is good for the soul. I'm not sure if it'll be on this blog, or on a new one, but I will let you know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for those who have followed this project. Keep Going.

Day 999: I've been watching this video and listening to this song over and over again this week.

Day 998:  This was a rejected monogram I did at work today, I ended up with something cooler, but I still kind of like this. Maybe for something else.

are you really gonna stop at 1000? you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations. I've been following you since the first year.

Thanks man! To be honest, deciding whether to go on or not has put me in some sort of existential crisis mode. I probably won't know until the day after I hit a 1000 so I'll just have to follow my gut!

Day 997:  Surrounded by boxes

Day 996:  I've moved every year for the past three years and it's so exhausting. I would like to put my roots somewhere.

Day 995:  I think like 5 years ago, my choice definitely would have been flight over fight. I think as you get older, you become less scared.

Day 994:  Yesterday we rented bikes to go around the city and eventually  to go over Williamsburg Bridge. The first half of the bridge requires biking up a steady slope and it's pretty tiring, but after you hit the apex, and you start going downhill, it becomes exhilarating. Maybe I was a little drunk and a little tired but as we were riding down, I felt really light as I passed streams of light, and I knew it was going to be one of those few memories that will stay with me forever.

Day 993:  I think for me, visiting NYC is way more exciting than actually living here.

Day 992:  My flight is tomorrow at 7 am and I am not packed at all.

Day 990: Going to New York for a quick trip this weekend for work and fun. What should I do while I'm there?

Day 989: My poor bike is literally falling apart (pedal broke off, brakes unhinged, rust, speeds not working) and I'm looking for a new one but I literally all of the frames for sale are for 6 ft and up. Are Toronto bikers all secretly giant and I am unlucky?

Day 988: Woke up extra early today, went to Lit Espresso to get work done and it feels really good. Also, a little girl walked by my table and directly coughed into my face so we will see if I get sick or not.
