lettering or it didn't happen
This is a personal project I created because I wanted to commemorate all of the places that I travel to in the form of postcards. Travel lettering has become so popular in recent years that I wanted to play on the phrase "Photos or it didn't happen" and make it more relevant to hand letterers.



Ok so this is technically not a travel piece but I wanted to make one of my postcards for my first home, just because.
During the summer of 2017, I went on a long 16 day road trip through California, visiting 7 National Parks in California and Oregon combined along with a few State Parks and Monuments. This was the true start of the "Lettering or It Didn't Happen" series.





I felt that climbing Half Dome in Yosemite deserved its own postcard.









My summer happy place.

In the days before "Lettering Or It Didn't Happen" started, I was lettering things like everyone else, in my sketchbook.

And sometimes I wouldn't have time to letter something while traveling so I would make a digital piece.
