Lots of pretty party invitations over at @dixie_design ! I adapted this design from a double birthday party invitation I made for two of my own girls, and the curly hair was added later in honor of the sweet daughter of my friend @leighwren 👯‍♀️🎀

Exciting to see this branding I did for @400.41st.avondale start to make its way onto the building and signage. Check it out if you’re in the area—it’s an old gas station given new life as a retail space, directly across from @meltbham and a stone’s throw from @avondalebrewing, @sawssoulkitchen and the park. It’s great to see my old stomping grounds so revitalized, with history preserved and murals giving color to old concrete walls.

“Helen, please get in your car seat.” Helen: “I’m Queen Elsa.” Me: “ok. Queen Elsa needs to get in her car seat.” Queen Elsa: “Hmph! But she doesn’t have a car OR a car seat OR a mama!” #hello

Charlotte has been documenting our lives through her film camera, captioning the prints, and keeping them all in an album. I love seeing the people and things she values. #shiningchar #peteredout

I love lettering. Even the simplest, most casual little projects bring a deep level of satisfaction. The forms of letters are so interesting to start, and it feels like such a privilege to bend, stretch, abbreviate, or simplify a letter to have it speak in a whole new way. It’s like a dance, getting to know a letter, appreciate what it is, and challenge it to do more. Even when I simply hand letter based on a typeface design, there is something about working with the hand that makes me feel a new level of fondness for our written language, like I’ve just given it a familiar hug or pat on the back. This lettering is based on a typeface by Jukebox Collection.

In between the moments of bickering and fits are these moments that I dream about.
