Ayla mirolo My brain: “Hey I’ve got a good idea, let’s do something we’ve never done before and let’s make it difficult”. My first thought for this prompt was Ron Swanson and his typewriter. And then I figured, let’s be even more analog and try some lino cuts to really round it out. I’ve always found creating things with my hands to be rather therapeutic and very satisfying. Even if it does end in stab marks and six failed prints before one sort of acceptable one. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T AY L A :

BILL CUNNINGHAM I’ve been trying to make ‘rad’ my personal ‘fetch’ and I don’t care if it’s never gonna happen! Only three awful records were harmed in the process of this month’s submission. I was never going to listen to the Gone With the Wind soundtrack and I know it. LEARN MORE ABOUT BILL:

JANNA BARRETT To me, the whole appeal of hand lettering is the analog nature. I think it’s really interesting to see how much more you can do with lettering once you digitize it, such as scaling up, putting it on other products, incorporating it with other artwork, faster iteration, etc. However, I think a lot of the character is lost when that happens. The most appealing aspect is the imperfections—the things we erase and clean up in the digital stage. This piece is definitely imperfect, and I much prefer how it looks in person to how it looks on screen, but I love it because I drew every wobbly line and every misshapen dot. The only thing the computer did was scan it. Besides, seeing the imperfections just encourages me to do better next time, or maybe to take a bit more care. And ironically, I do want to digitize this so I can make a screen wallpaper out of it. People need to be reminded to pay more attention to the real world and less attention to the digital one.

kate lalime Oh hey, it’s just me trying to live in the present and not dwell on things that have already happened or worry about things that haven’t happened yet (and maybe never will)! L E A R N M O R E A B O U T K AT E :

lauren florence The artistic process is messy. It’s ugly. It’s frustrating. But that’s the beauty of it. When I letter something I embrace the tiny imperfections because that is beautiful to me; it’s real and unapologetic. For this submission I used a medium I’ve been neglecting now that I am sucked into the digital world and it felt like coming home. LEARN MORE ABOUT LAUREN:

molly taaffe In the last few years I’ve been getting back into baking, something my amazing mother taught me right out of the gate. Since watching GBBO I’ve been experimenting more with different recipes and ingredients. It’s great to get away from screens and it feeds my raging sweet tooth. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T M O L LY:

I need this constant reminder, to step away from the screen every once in a while and do something with my hands. It’s time to break out my exacto knives. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T B R I T TA N Y:
