This is a peek at some of the artwork I did for my upcoming third book with @better_day_books! ⁣
⁣
As of yesterday, I’m officially done creating the main content for it, and we’re expecting it to be ready for pre-order sometime next month. ⁣
⁣
At that time, I’ll do a cover reveal and give you an overview of what you’ll find inside. ⁣
⁣
The exact release date is TBD, but it will most likely be out late this coming summer.⁣
⁣
In other news…a bunch of new content went up/out today!⁣

🛍️ The Optimist Style: A Beveled Serif Lettering Workbook⁣
💌 Newsletter: new freebies and a one-day only code to get 50% off my new workbook⁣
🎥 YouTube: Beveled Serif Procreate Video Lesson ⁣
⁣
There will be a new lettering style and workbook option every month of 2025. I have the entire year planned out with fun new styles.⁣
⁣
Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to get the 24-hour discount code each month if you want the full workbook for half-price! You’ll also get a free lettering style challenge mini-workbook and Procreate color palette on the 1st of every month.⁣

Cheers to a year of growing our lettering style skills together! 🥳

Re-sharing this piece from last Holiday Season because I’ve been so busy working to meet my upcoming deadline for all the book three content. I cannot wait to share the title, cover, and some content details soon!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Meanwhile, 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘬 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 is out December 28th!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And later this month is also the one-year anniversary of when 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 book came out.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Shout out to my amazing publisher @better_day_books. What a whirlwind few years it’s been working with the BDB team and the @schifferpublishing team as well. They’re the BEST of the best. Truly!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve also been prepping my educational content for the coming year. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the main things I’ve focused on the past few years is coming up with original lettering styles to share in my books. Throughout 2025, I plan to help you develop this skill, too!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In each monthly newsletter, I’ll share a worksheet-based challenge for you to create a lettering style based on a single letter.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If that stresses you out too much, you can get the “trace-to-learn” the style workbook and guide I’ve made for that month. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have all twelve months of 2025 planned out with super fun challenges and styles! In January, the lettering style is a stacked beveled serif called Optimist. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today, I finished up a blog post called “7 Tips for Creating New Lettering Styles” that outlines my process, so you can use it too!⁣⁣
⁣⁣

⁣⁣
The challenge, video lesson, workbook option (printable PDF and Procreate formats), and tips hit inboxes January 1. ⁣⁣

P.S. Any guesses about book three?! Here’s a hint: 📚✏️🖍️🤓
