Introducing Apples of Gold Art Prints!

Just in time for fall! 🍃 🍂 🍁  I’ve been lettering a lot this year- and learning a lot- and working on bringing all of the artwork together to create a new line of products. Finally, after months on and off of sketching and lettering, I’m so excited to introduce Apples of Gold, my new line of digital hand-lettered art and printables! You may have seen some of the artwork already on Instagram.

These printables are available as a PDF in 8 x 10 (some are portrait and some are landscape formats.) I’ve even got some designs available in vector format! Check them all out here.

I’ve put the latest new digital prints in the series in my Etsy shop. Until November 15, use the coupon code APPLESOFGOLD at checkout to save 25% on your purchase over $8!

Both elegant and powerful, Miss Elizabeth will add a rustic charm to your invitations, cards, home decor, branding, and more!

Meet Humoresque!

I’m delighted to introduce you to Humoresque, a wisecracking sign painter mini-font family. The family began as a layered lettering set in Artisan’s Tool Chest. If you liked using that, you’ll enjoy using the first font family in the Artisan Type Collection- Humoresque! The “Revival” lettering set has been refined, boosted, and programmed as a font that you can install and use for all of your Victorian-revival style projects. Humoresque draws inspiration from modern hand-lettering and turn-of-the-century decorative type. It’s great for bold displays and headlines of wit and whimsy. Check out the family here!

New in my Shop! An American Autumn

Throughout most of the United States- especially where I live- the blaze of brilliant red, vermillion, orange, saffron, yellow, and gold creates a rich visual poetry that lasts throughout the months of September and October. This year in Ohio, the fall colors were especially bright and inspiring. As a result, I give you An American Autumn, a charming collection of over 150 autumn illustrations and clipart elements that will be perfect for all your fall-related designs.

I had a busy autumn. And I meant to share this a lot earlier. And I know it’s almost winter. But I’m a better-late-than-never kind of person! 🙂 Check it out in my shop. Thanksgiving is still yet to come! It’s on sale for a limited time.

Create a Simple Animated GIF from your Lettering

Recently I entered a contest, deciding to procrastinate no longer in learning to create animated GIFs in Photoshop to announce my latest product. The process was much easier than I had imagined. Drawing inspiration from the header here, I created a fun and easy way to animate my hand lettering- or any design- using Photoshop to create an animated GIF. I’ve also created some actions (which you can download free) that streamlined and sped up the process.

NEW! Artisan’s Tool Chest + Freebies

I’m delighted to announce that after months of scheming, creating and tweaking, I’ve just released a new product to my shop! I give you Artisan’s Tool Chest ! Check it out today!

Just like the go-to set of pens and pencils used by a hand-letterer, or the favorite nibs in a calligrapher’s collection, let Artisan’s Tool Chest be your new favorite digital artist’s tool box of brushes, patterns, frames, letters, and ornaments. If you liked The Brush Studio, you’ll be right at home, and you’ll love this even more.
