Linda & Harriett Stationery







Cards and custom invitations that incorporate hand-lettering. I'm impressed at how how easily they combined type with handwriting. Check out the Linda & Harriett website, and blog.

mystery illustrator @ John Derian



I found this little sample of hand-drawn type over at John Derian. Looks like there's an illustrator's mark on it, but I can't read it… anyone know who it might be?

Jason Polan's 20x200 print



This week's 20x20 Tuesday edition is a piece by Jason Polan, featuring hand-written text.

Stan VanDerBeek



I found this Stan VanDerBeek piece on Reference Library yesterday.

Lizzie Fortunato Jewels




I found a post about Lizzie Fortunato Jewels newest collection yesterday on fly as well. I love finding random lost personal items on the street… missing earrings, charms, watches, etc… and these necklaces remind me of those. And they're unique enough that somoene wouldn't have one just like it. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the most obvious thing - they use hand-lettering, or at least letters that seem that way.

Emily Eibel






Oh, man I found some good stuff yesterday, starting with Emily Eibel's stitched illustrations. Emily uses a mish-mosh of embroidery techniques and illustration skills to come up with her stitched illustrations. This is probably my favorite find lately, because I've recently taken up an interest in blackwork.

Ted McGrath








Check out Ted McGrath's portfolio - he's got tons of hand-lettered work: magazine covers, fashion spreads, sketch books, and on and on.
