WE WROTE A BOOK! 🥳 We’ve worked with thousands of students who have had the same questions about ONE thing: finding their style… So, we wrote a book about it! Follow Your Art is an immersive workbook for artists to unlock their unique creative voice. We’ve combined everything we know into one judgement-free workbook designed to help you show up fully, create bravely, and build a creative practice that’s truly your own.

Today's featured artist is @magdamokrzan 😍 A peek inside a lettering artist's sketchbook. Magda Mokrzan is a freelance type and graphic designer based in Poland. Fascinated by typography's heritage, but also its future. #goodtype #letteringart #typedesign #graphicdesigner #strengthinletters

Great news for letterers, type designers, and beyond: most of what you make qualifies for GR2D ✅ Hand lettering, fabric designs, logos, illustrations, sketches, collages, character artwork… if it’s 2D and you published it this year, it’s likely eligible. Friendly reminder that we’re not lawyers and this is not legal advice, BUT… if you want to learn from an ACTUAL lawyer for creatives, we want you to meet our friend Alyce inside The Contract Kit! Comment “TCK” and we’ll send you the link! #goodtype #graphicdesigner #copyrightinfringement #strengthinletters #artistsmeanbiz
