This looks amazing! The super talented calligrapher Seb Lester, shows us how he creates a doodle on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. This is actually an app called Amaziograph: it applies symmetry to everything you draw. Like this doily-looking doodle in the video.

These are from the collection of Sunday Sketches from Christoph Niemann, one of my favorite illustrators and artists. Niemann who is based in Berlin, started posting weekly doodle sketches based around everyday objects on his Instagram page. He says. “The idea for the series happened organically: because I always have a messy desk there was all this stuff that shouldn’t be there, so I started drawing around that. Now I pick an object that doesn’t immediately invite any kind of connection – the weirder the better – and then I stare at it until some kind of image appears.”
This is the work of Patrick Simons, a multi disciplinary graphic designer based in Netherlands, with a strong focus towards illustration and handmade typography. Three-dimensional, fluffy and colorful words, floating around like balloons!

Just discovered Jeff Rogers, a New York City-based designer and letterer. He has a very distinct style of lettering which I love! He uses a combination of hand-drawn and digital techniques depending on the project, while having a very broad range of styles in his work.
He usually begins with pencil sketches and then, often, moves on to the computer to make vector outlines and add texture and color. In other cases he draws or paints by hand, creating a beautiful retro style reminiscent of vintage painted signage. He also plays around with sculpted letterforms by creating three-dimensional handmade letters.
Also, really amazing work with the GIF animations!

I love the vintage heroes of Alex Gross, a visual artist from Los Angeles, California. In his – mixed media – Heroes series, he paints over old photographs, transforming the characters into superheroes or iconic characters from pop culture like Batman, Wonder Woman, Marge Simpson or Star Wars characters.

Now, this is something that combines my search for new and interesting ways to empower our young daughters to feel more confident of themselves, and also my love for design and lettering.
Kazoo is “a magazine for girls that inspires them to be strong, smart, fierce and, above all, true to themselves” as the creators say. In a time that TV and tablets are taking over the free time of young kids, it’s really encouraging to hear that a cool new magazine for girls aged 5-10 years is out. The founder, Erin Bried (a former magazine editor), thought of the concept out of the need to find a cool magazine for her daughter, that doesn’t only tell girls how to look or act. Bried launched Kazoo after a very successful Kickstarter campaign and the first issue was just printed this summer and is already sold out! All of their stories are either developed or inspired by top female artists, explorers, scientists, chefs, athletes, activists and writers. How inspiring is that for little girls?
Design wise for the first issue, Bried has used a selection of the best illustrators and letterers around. Mary Kate McDevitt has done all the lettering on the cover and some very nice lettering illustrations for inside. Illustrator and designer Libby Vander Ploeg has also created some beautifully illustrated maps. I can’t wait to look inside! I am thinking of subscribing for my daughters, but I will end up keeping the magazine for myself! Unfortunately the shipping costs from the US are too high, hopefully I will find a way!
