And now, for some shameless self-promotion! I am happy to present my own lettering work! Feel free to check all my work, with lettering both for english and greek, on my new Behance page.

Lettering is the craft of drawing letters. It’s not a font that you can buy somewhere and type your text with. It’s more like an illustration with the shape of letters, that forms words and text. It’s the art of combining letter shapes, colors and composition to tell a story and send a message. The result is unique and custom. It starts by hand with pencil sketches, continues with inking and usually ends up on the computer where color and texture is added. Lettering can also be very versatile. It can be applied in advertising and editorial design, book covers, logos, packaging etc.

Please contact me for lettering commissions!

You can also find a selection of my work available on Etsy, in the form of art prints.
