Brownies have the key to my heart and fruity candy like Jolly Ranchers or Starburst.

It gets intense!TELL US HOW YOU GOT STARTED WITH LETTERING : I've been unknowingly lettering since I was younger. I always drew graffiti lettering growing up when I was bored. I didn't realize what I was doing at the time. Now when I letter I think back to the past and realize, even though it was a different style, I was lettering all along!DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TOOL : I'm most comfortable lettering with a mechanical pencil and my Artograph light box. Simple tools, very efficient! WHY DO YOU BLOG : I think it's important for others to see what i'm working on. I love to inspire others!

Start the week off right and you can move mountains!ANY ADVICE FOR FELLOW ENTREPRENEURS : Keep doing what you do! Practice never hurt anybody! Also, social media will be your best friend!

My overall fave lettering artist has to be Jay Roeder! His type speaks to me. Every time I see his lettering, I get weak in the knees.
