Being an artist and creator is a funny thing. When I did this drawing a few months ago, I thought it was awesome. Big bold text and the letters fit together pretty well...but now, several months later, I see sooo many imperfections and just want to fix things about it. This is honestly a real lesson in confidence and the exact reason why I haven't posted in months. I do a drawing and then proceed to spend too much time online comparing my artwork to other artists. By the time I want to post it, I feel like it's not good enough and no one will like it or even care. What I really should be thinking is that THIS IS ALL FOR FUN. I don't make my full income doing lettering, and no one pays me for 99% of what I post. I just do it for the joy of sharing pretty things with the rest of the world. Sorry for a long caption, but I'm really just trying to remind myself to draw and share for my wonderful friends and family on IG. You all are the people that I would want to share these drawings with in person anyway! #confidence #keepcreating #keepsharing #yourartmatters #drawsomething #justwanttodraw #handlettering #drawing #lettering #sketchbookartist #utahdesigner #utahartist #utahhandlettering #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #goodtype #typegang #handtype #artoftype (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU7cmKn7Nr/?igshid=1ye4vzbfved8

And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

Hey look! Finally some relevant lettering shared before the month of November is over! 😱 I pulled out my gouache paint this week for the first time in a while and have been in bright colored gradient mode. So excited to have some inspiration after a long time of no new ideas. 😊🎉 Also, I love the month of November and the anticipation of the holidays coming up! #november #handlettering #utahhandmade #utahhandlettering #saltlakelettering #slcartist #saltlakeletteringclub #gouache #watercolorlettering #gouachepainting #type #lettering #moderncalligraphy #micronpen #calligritype (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4s9bRmH5qT/?igshid=1jazd9bf3zqk3

Another slight irrelevant lettering piece for you all tonight! I literally drew this like a month ago when it was actually not fall yet, but time gets away from me and now it’s almost winter in Utah. 😂 Either way, really enjoyed drawing this one! #irrelevantlettering #auntumnishere #fallthings #ilovefall #autumn #autumnvibes ##sketchbook #letteringpractice #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #handdrawnletters #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #handmadesigns #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligritype #typematters #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4lh__tn1Ap/?igshid=jzjs0dpz1ivu

Life has been a whirlwind lately!! From my husband starting flight training at a regional airline, to all the work at my day job as we plan a big conference, it’s been nuts. I’ve also been traveling on the weekends! I’ve been to Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado all in the last couple months! Here’s a little drawing I did while in my home state of Wyoming. I’ve been trying to draw more things that I could see myself buying. This one was supposed to be something that could be pulled off as a sticker design! We’ll see if I ever get to the creating of the sticker part of the process... #wyoming #wyominglife #wyhomeing #wyomingartist #adventure #travel #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligritype #calligrabasics #handletteredabcs #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype #sketchbook (at Wyoming)

I know the election is at the top of almost everyone else’s mind right now, but I figure we all need a little bit of an escape from the chaos. So I wanted to share some virtual lettering workshops that can hopefully help you wind down with some relaxing drawing! I’m teaching two hand lettering workshops this month! One is a beginning hand lettering workshop with the @smithsonianassociates Studio Arts Program starting this Thursday, Nov. 5 and an iPad lettering workshop with @uofulifelonglearning that starts next Wednesday, Nov. 11. They will both be virtual and once a week for 4 weeks. They are always so much fun and I find it so relaxing to have 2 hours of uninterrupted time to draw! Go to my website, linked in my bio, to see the workshops and sign up! I’d love to have more new friends in the classes! #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawn #utahartist #utahhandlettering #ipadproart #customtype #coloradoartist #coloradolettering #saltlakelettering #typography #typespire #typegang #goodtype #ipadlettering #ipadart #ipadprolettering #typeverything #typographyinspired #customlettering #digitalinkdrawing #letteringworkshop #handletteringpractice #letteringartist (at Steamboat Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJ3NNVnPIO/?igshid=1g6xzd5qcsy39

Holy moly friends. I am feeling so many warm and fuzzies and encouragement after all the comments and love on my "confidence" drawing. It's so wonderful to get so much positive feedback after being in my head for so long. You all are SO wonderful, and I feel so grateful that there are so many amazing people in my life to help keep me on the positivity train. I obviously have been thinking a LOT about creativity and sharing artwork, so here's another work in progress related to encouraging myself and my fellow creative friends to share your work with the world. Also... aren't those pencil marks just ✨?? I'm almost scared to ruin it with pen because I love pencil sooo much! #workinprogress #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #drawsomething #handlettering #handletteringpractice #drawing #lettering #sketchbookartist #sketchbook #utahdesigner #utahartist #utahhandlettering #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #goodtype #typegang #handtype #artoftype @archerandolive (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDckR-FHOUg/?igshid=1mdfgm4h8yzji

Hi friends! I’m back after a VERY quiet past few months! As we all know, things have been crazy and the world has changed so much in such a short time. I honestly was feeling super burnt out on trying to create perfectly Instagram-able art, and that combined with a pandemic and all of BLM conversations made me want to take a step back from posting. Sometimes when people are using these social platforms for voicing important ideas and perspectives, it feels wrong to add to the noise with random day-to-day chatter. So I’m coming back with hopes of joining back in with the mindset of being a supportive contributor to the lettering community!! That being said, I really have missed sharing work here! Taking a step back has been so great for me. I’ve finally started feeling extra inspired to draw after realizing that I can just make things for family and friends. It’s so much easier when you make things for people you love! So I’ve got lots of exciting things to share and I swear I’ve said that a million times here, but this time I really do! I’m working on getting some product samples and stickers and we’ll see where things go from there 😊🎉✨ #imbackinstagram #supporteachother #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawn #utahartist #utahhandlettering #ipadproart #type #saltlakeartist #saltlakelettering #typography #typespire #typegang #goodtype #ipadlettering #ipadart #typeverything #typographyinspired (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSSwTtnWrY/?igshid=1ujyuuwy3uejz

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mothers and grandmothers in my life. I’m so grateful to have so many amazing role models and a great support system around me! Extra special Mother’s Day to my mom @shandaskaggs, my mother in law @nickygmccallum, nana @donnaponder2, and very special first Mother’s Day to my sister @danimward. Dani, thanks for bringing my most favorite, squishy little boy into the world! ❤️❤️❤️ Love all of you so much! #happymothersday #everyoneneedstheirmom #ilovemymom #quarantinecreative #keepcreating #createwithoutfear #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #watercolorlettering #createsomethingtodayevenifitsucks (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CACAKTFnWsb/?igshid=1isrnv7wcvdim

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately! I’ve been trying to come up with things to draw that I think people will like on Instagram, but that honestly gets exhausting. Sometimes I just want to sit down and draw for the sake of drawing! This little guy isn’t perfect or fancy or pushing me as a lettering artist, but it was easy and relaxing to create. And the whole point of this is to share things I love making. I loved making this simple thing, so I think this is a win! #createsomethingtoday #justdrawsomething #keepitsimple #createsomethingtodayevenifitsucks #drawdaily #keepcreating #createwithoutfear #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype #sketchbook (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9FtySLHoQs/?igshid=11crgz5kh8844

I share a lot of totally finished drawings here, so I wanted to post something that’s more of a work in progress. This is a little drawing I was working on for fun the other day in honor of my two very cute Great Danes (or great pains as we call them). If you watch my stories you’ve seen Daphne and Churchill and know that I’m fully obsessed with them. I’ve recently switched to working from home, so I literally spend all my time with them. Even though I love them, they can definitely totally terrible and annoying, so @reidmccallum and I affectionately call them “the great pains”. 😊😂 #mrchurchill #daphnedane #thegreatpain #theadventuredanes #greatdane #greatdanesofinstagram #lettering #handlettering #handdrawntype #handdrawn #utahartist #utahhandlettering #ipadproart #type #saltlakeartist #saltlakelettering #typography #typespire #typegang #goodtype #ipadlettering #ipadart #typeverything #typographyinspired (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AvRE1H4UY/?igshid=i2qe6aeloxhd

Super excited to share one of my favorite signs I’ve ever got to make! This little guy is one of a big group of food menu signs made for @hopkinsbrewingco! They’re working with the amazing @saltlakeletteringclub to hand letter all of their beer and food signs! This has been such a fun project to be part of and this restaurant is literally one of my favs in sugarhouse. I was especially excited to get to do the sign for my absolute favorite thing on their menu, buffalo cauliflower! GUYS. This is literally the best buffalo cauliflower around. Seriously, go try it! And you’ll get to see all the other signs made by my friends in the club! #signpainting #handletteredsigns #hopkinsbrewingco #chalklettering #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #handdrawnletters #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #handmadesigns #typography #goodtype #typegang #calligritype #typematters #handtype #artoftype (at Hopkins Brewing Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B87eG6QnJFA/?igshid=ps6bci4tnz3b

Feeling sooo happy it’s Friday, because all I want to do is draw! I was feeling the itch to make something today, and my new sparkly gold gel pen was calling my name. I wish still photos showed the sparkle, because it’s super fun against the black letters! Plus this tiny sketchbook is the perfect size for some non-intimidating quick lettering. #friday #itsfinallyfriday #drawsomething #justwanttodraw #friyay #tgif #handlettering #drawing #lettering #sketchbookartist #utahdesigner #utahartist #utahhandlettering #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #goodtype #typegang #handtype #artoftype (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82MGDDnGvJ/?igshid=xviigmho77f5

I’ve had such a hard time coming up with a phrase or words to letter lately. I’ve tried searching Pinterest for quotes (all annoyingly cheesy, unfortunately) and attempted to come up with things on my own, but nothing sticks. It’s such a weird thing, because all I want to do is draw, but I can never think of content that feels right. So this is my attempt at just getting something out there and along with some inspiration to myself to get over it and just draw. Creating something dumb is better than not creating at all! P.S. if anyone has any not-so-cheesy things they would like to see illustrated, let me know! 😂 #justdraw #justdrawsomething #makeprettystuff #makersgonnamake #keepcreating #createwithoutfear #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype #sketchbook (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uzD7YHEhJ/?igshid=x46mp0uf9dy9

Happy late Valentine’s Day to all of my wonderful friends and family! I tried to come up with some longer and meaningful post... but it really comes down to me just wanting to say that you all are the best and I’m so grateful for wonderful, caring people in my life! And an especially happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend and Great Dane co-parent, @reidmccallum. Thanks for many years of adventure and cleaning up after me! Love you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ #youarethebest #myfavorite #valentinesday #happyvalentinesday #galentinesday #sharethelove #handlettering #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #letteringartist #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #ipadlettering #ipadproart (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mXT3EnXXJ/?igshid=1f4gmtrhu397l
