A COLLECTION OF LETTERING AND ILLUSTRATION 2015-2016
designed and compiled by
PREFACE Over the past four years, I have developed an immense passion for all things design. Above all things, I really enjoy when I get the chance to use my handcraft within my work. I’m constantly mesmerized by letters, and their unique forms; and captivated by the ability to change a person’s mood using artwork. Creating is what keeps me going... and I intend to do it forever. Miki Tacchi Lettering is my way of getting the words in my head onto paper. It is when I brighten someone’s day, or give them the exact words for that perfect moment, that I remember why I do what I do. To some, my art might just look like pretty pictures and corny words you can display in your home, but to others these pictures and words are what get them through the day. Art enables us to find ourselves and loose ourselves at the same time. This book features most, if not all of the artwork I did outside of schoolwork on my own time from Junior year of college up until graduation. The year 2015—2016 was a big year for me in terms of personal growth. My personal artwork served as an outlet for me as a way to express myself and what I was feeling in trying times, joyful times, and every time in between. After starting my website and Etsy shop, it became clear to me that many other were going through simmilar experiences and could relate to what I had made. I hope you can too!
