Some lettering I did recently for a shirt for the family/friends of Mike to wear to support his battle with kidney cancer.

Olle Goes Vintage

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:39:44 -0600

I totally told myself to leave the Olle lettering alone so I can sit on it for a few days and then review again later, but hey, what better way to waste precious time needed for actual paid work than goofing around?

I’m having fun messing with it though :) Okay, back to work!

Still Kicking in 2013

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:25:44 -0600

Sooooooo 2012 was crazy. Some good, some great, some horrible, but I keep chugging along so hopefully I’ll have more time to get better and better at my lettering and illustration in 2013! To kick things off, there’s a few new projects on my site and for side projects I’m starting to develop lettering for my first forray into the font biz. Here’s a quick shot I just uploaded on Dribbble. Stay tuned for more screenshots and refinements (don’t judge my curves just yet, I’m fixing themmmm).

Bored on Sunday

Sun, 20 May 2012 16:38:29 -0500

Downtime between projects is both a blessing and a curse! So what do I do on a Sunday with no work, I create a portrait of my shar-pei :) I do more lettering than illustration in my 9-5 stuff so it’s nice sometimes to work out the ol’ illo muscles.

Everywhere Project - Take 2

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:36:00 -0500

Sooooo, this tuned out way different than the first sneak peak one post down. Sometimes I get stuck and it’s not quite turning out the way I want so I have to rethink and start redoing either from scratch or the pieces I have in order to meet deadline! See the full work at my site: www.danielleishere.com.

Hopefully I get them done so I can post on the 14th!

Ice Cream Cheer

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:55:47 -0600

Some illustrations I made for some personal stationery for my good friend Lindsey! I felt the ice cream head guy was a little too creepy so I didn’t send that one to her :D I did a monogram for her name as well and sent these postcards off for her birthday.

Shelby & Seth

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:44:43 -0500

Update to Shelby & Seth’s wedding invites. They wanted some more color and liked the idea of the monogram look because of the double S so here it is!

On a totally unrelated note, how on earth do you make your “Notes” and “Likes” show up on comment view on Tumblr? I’ve googled it to death and still can’t get it to work. Any help out there??

Oh, Happy Day!

A header illustration and hand-lettering for a wedding invite for Shelby and Seth. Fun and light hearted and I love the look of dark chocolate and a buttercup yellow on white.
