Theme: Fonts and Typography • No. 12-18

Success! I am posting on time. I did my Thursday and Friday drawing at the same time since I didn't have any other work to do tonight.

No. 12
This is kind of cheating, it's not really about the font, or words, it's more about the characters. I made this so that I could make flash cards or a poster for kids. Each little dude or dudette has an icon for their letter on their shirt. There are 13 different kids before it repeats. This took me all day Saturday to complete.

No. 13
Someone once said this to me and it stuck. I always thought that was a very nice thing to say to someone.

The smile face is the face from Braden's yeti. The font is Helvetica. I made this while I was watching a Demetri Martin special. All of the vowels have the burst deal. I was distracted and I'm not really happy with how it came out. The things I do like are the color, and the sentiment behind it.

No. 14
Some more of my handwriting, scanned in and jazzed up. I like this one.




No. 15
More of my handwriting. I was thinking about my illegible cursive, but I drew this legibly. When I doodle a lot of the time I will draw cursive I's because I think that they are pretty.




No. 16
I really do!

You better.

No. 17
This was my first attempt to write "there isn't anything left" - but then I got lazy. I like everything except the lettering, haha.




No. 17
2 appropriate phrases to go with this one are - "Where is it?" and Whoomp!"
I totally like this one. It was a happy surprise. This was actually the second attempt to write "there isn't anything left" but again - laze. I want to make an alphabet of this also because I'm into it.

I love the kid alphabet. There shirts are great with matching pictures that start with that letter.

Very cute! Can we buy these as cards or prints somewhere? I have friends with kids now and don't like to buy generic, chain-made gifts and something like this would be great.
