letters
Letters really are like art to me. I remember "practicing my letters" when I was little. How I loved to write them! And read them. Still my favorite pastime by far. Letters are powerful and influential. The different styles, fonts, types, and shapes - all graphic,inspiring.

Art Crawl - Jessica Hische
or me typography is a unique art form and Jessica Hische is a unique artist. Although, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. You probably have already heard of her and if you don't know her by name you have probably seen her work. Beautiful, good typography can convey style, emotion, image and more to the viewer. It really is everywhere we look - on signs, graphics, company logos... Jessica is one of the best and I have been following her work for some time. As if that isn't talent enough, she is also an incredible illustrator. See for yourself:
Daily Drop Cap, a project Jessica created showcasing a decorative letter every day going through 12 alphabets. The drop cap letter I used above is from the Drop Cap Project. See full project here.
Buttermilk, a font designed by Jessica
Design:
A fab restaurant here in San Diego - Roseville
Shopping in Marrakech, the cover was embroidered by Jessica!
Illustrations:
Illustration for O Magazine
You must check out her website to see more of her amazing work. Much more than I could show here. Good stuff!

One Dozen Red Hot Tickets...
Oh How I love antique illustrations!!! Bella Muse does a lovely job with their little luxuries. I told myself I would not be sappy this week but I caved and purchased these soft sentiments. These dozen kiss tickets are sweet enough to make my teeth hurt. "Kisses aren't meant to be tucked away or all piled up for a rainy day. So be generous with your kisses and give them away."
100% Satisfaction guaranteed.
