So Many Letters

Having grown up in NYC, I’ve been a huge fan of graffiti-inspired letters since I started recognizing the alphabet. I like how these large-scale forms of color sometimes reveal a recognizable letter and are at other times so abstract that they can barely be “read” as letters.

I find letters are quite fun to draw! I used to take great pride in lettering the topics in my notebook or drawing my name over and over. Psych signs* were really big in my high school, and the girls with the best lettering skills always had waiting lists of people who wanted their names to be drawn. (I’m sure boys have great lettering skills, too, but my experience was at an all-girls school.)

*Oh, wait . . . not everyone has a school obsessed with psych signs? They’re signs with people’s names on them (usually very athletic people) to psych them up for a game and show support. Something like “Go Hannah” . . . except that I’m not terribly athletic. (But I still appreciated the vote of confidence.)

Making messages with this book is a lot of fun and super easy! Besides, there are important things to remember, like:
