Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Dan Forster, an award-winning lettering artist and designer with over 25 years of experience. Dan has crafted stunning custom lettering for brands, agencies, and clients worldwide, but his journey into the world of type wasn't a straight path—it was shaped by frustration, perseverance, and an unexpected return to his roots.Dan shares the story of his late father, a renowned lettering artist, and how clearing out his dad's studio after his passing led to a creative revelation. We talk about his early struggles with drawing letters, his detour into graphic design, and the moment he realized that lettering was his true calling.We also dive into:✔️ The painstaking process behind mastering letterforms (and why drawing a single Helvetica “a” for hours was a turning point).✔️ His time at top agencies like Elmwood and the leap into freelancing.✔️ The evolution of lettering in branding and why some iconic wordmarks, like Kahlúa, needed a refresh.✔️ How he approaches complex lettering projects—including a 30-day masterpiece that landed in Communication Arts.✔️ The importance of showing process work to clients and why observing letterforms is just as crucial as drawing them.✔️ The push-and-pull between modern digital tools and the lost art of hand-lettering.We wrap things up with a discussion on the blandification of branding (looking at you, Johnson & Johnson) and the challenge of preserving craft in a world moving toward simplicity. Plus, Dan shares why he thinks it's never too late to change career paths and go all-in on what you love.If you're into typography, branding, or just love hearing about the obsessive world of letterforms, this episode is a must-listen.More about Dan Forster: www.danforster.comConnect with Dan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danforster/Support the showAbout Kirk and Andy.

Jessica Hische is a lettering artist and author with a tendency to overshare and a penchant for procrastiworking.

Lettering artist Lauren Hom was a super shy and studious child. Her crafty mother would make snacks with her initials cut out of cheese slices. In her teenage years, her first love led to slipping grades and the realization that her creativity, not science, would be her path to college. She sold her parents on going to art school with the promise of learning the advertising business. After a brief stint at an ad agency, she started freelancing with her art, and now has made an art out of freelancing.Images, links and more from Lauren HomThanks to Adobe MAX for hosting us in the Airstream podcast lounge.Please say Hi on social!

In dieser Podcast-Folge tauchen wir ein in die Welt von Chris Campe. Ohne Netz, aber mit doppeltem Boden. Die Hamburgerin ist Lettering Artist, Gründerin des Designbüros „All Things Letters“. Sie malt Buchstaben. Und jeder einzelne von Ihnen erzählt eine Geschichte. Ihre zum Beispiel.Wie wird man eigentlich Lettering Artist? Spoiler: Studieren kann man das nicht. Aber wie das aussehen kann, sieht man auf der Schaufensterscheibe von Chris Designbüro „All Things Letters“ im Venusberg. Ziemlich gut. Dahinter verbergen sich eine Menge schlauer Fragen und Gedanken, denn die Lettern erzählen selber Geschichten. Ist ein A, das anders aussieht, noch ein A? Im Subtext geht es um Normen und Genderfragen. Clever verpackt, ein typischer Campe-Twist. Inzwischen ist sie zu diesem Thema sogar als Keynote Speakerin unterwegs. Der Campe-TwistDabei war Lettering für Chris eher eine Flucht als ein gezielter Weg. Sie wollte als Illustratorin einfach keine Figuren mehr malen. Manchmal führen Fluchten dann doch ans Ziel. Chris Campe jedenfalls wagt gerade den Sprung von der Schriftgestaltung in die Schriftstellerei. Sie schreibt ihren ersten Roman. Ein typischer Campe-Twist? Das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge! Der Hamburger Podcast ist eine Produktion von Sounds and Pods. Studio für kreative Audioformate Hamburg und dem Magazin "Der Hamburger".

Michaela Leitner ist freiberufliche Designerin und Lettering Artist in Augsburg. Sie studierte Graphic Design an der Falmouth University in Cornwall, Kommunikationsdesign (B.A.) und Transformation Design (M.A.) an der Hochschule Augsburg. Heute gestaltet sie Kommunikation und – im besten Fall – Veränderung. Schon seit Jahren beschäftigt sie sich mit dem Thema Gleichberechtigung und der Frage, wie sie als Designerin dieser Thematik im Alltag zu mehr Aufmerksamkeit verhelfen kann. Ob durch Text, Illustration, Grafik, Lettering oder auch mal (schlechten) Humor und Sarkasmus – um dieses Ziel zu erreichen sind ihr fast alle Mittel recht. Für ihre Bachelorarbeit schrieb sie 2018 Auszüge aus dem Grundgesetz händisch: Unperfekt und gegensätzlich und dennoch am Ende eine visuelle Einheit. Am Ende des Experiments entstand eine neonfarbene Siebdruckserie. Ihre Masterarbeit 2021 in Transformation Design endete in einem knapp 200 seitigem, illustrierten Sachbuch: »FemFacts – Von Sexismen, Gender Gaps und anderen Absurditäten«, welches 2022 bei &Töchter in München erschien. Das Buch ist eine feministische Bestandsaufnahme – manchmal amüsant, meistens haarsträubend.

In this episode I feature a conversation that I had a few weeks ago on The Pencil Pushers Podcast with Mike Rosado. As you know, I like featuring accomplished artists on this podcast to unveil strategies that could help you unlock your creative potential and make a living with your skills. Now, I'm sharing this episode because it unveils my own path as a lettering artist: how I left everything behind and moved from South America to Europe and pivoted careers, the steps I took to start my lettering studio and get my first clients, the skills that I had to acquire to “make it” as an artist, build a team, and land dream assignments — including insights on how I navigated the Covid-19 pandemic to shape a new vision for my business that now propels other lettering artists and illustrators forward. I hope that this episode will show you what's possible for you as an artist and will provide you with some insights and tactics that you can use to shape your own path.

Lauren Hom is a California-born designer, illustrator & hand lettering artist with a 250k strong following on Instagram. She is known for her use of bright colour palettes & playful letterings and has worked for clients such as Starbucks, YouTube, TIME Magazine, Google and AT&T. She has also been recognised by Communications Arts, the Art Directors Club, the One Club, the Type Directors Club and the Webby Awards. But how did it all start?As with all STIMY episodes, we start from the very beginning: with Lauren's childhood & how she ended up studying at the School of Visual Arts for, of all courses, advertising! While there, she met influential figures who had a deep influence on her decision to become a freelance artist. Turns out, being the junior director of a big ad agency in New York wasn't the dream job she'd thought it would be!  Lauren also peels back the layers on some of her most popular passion projects, beginning with Daily Dishonesty - which landed her a book deal upon graduation! That proved pivotal, as it gave her a financial cushion to launch a freelance career. Three things stood out with Lauren's life story:her talent in lettering;her ability to use passion projects to change the trajectory of her freelance career, repeatedly; andher willingness to be open about how she executes her projects, markets them and what she earns! And finally, why she is now going on a sabbatical and entering culinary school.If you've ever been curious about the business side of an artist's career, then this is the episode for you.Highlights4:58 Work hard, snack hard5:38 Doing advertising11:40 Becoming a Junior Art Director in a big New York city ad firm13:36 Daily Dishonesty16:52 Seeing Daily Dishonesty go viral18:51 Getting an illustration agent20:14 Knowing when to say no to a client22:59 Planning to go freelance24:17 Earning $100,000 by Year 3 of freelancing25:12 Growing an audience on Instagram28:27 “Will Letter for Lunch” side project31:28 Getting clients like Microsoft & LinkedIn in less than 1 year34:12 Flour Crown & Peen Cuisine39:30 Traveling 1.5 years around the world40:47 Being inspired more by every day life44:35 Taking Back Sunday46:36 Taking a creative sabbatical to go to culinary school54:48 Would Lauren ever do street art?

Today we're talking with Cymone Wilder from Simon and Moose. She is a full time graphic designer by day, amazing lettering artist by night. She has some really cool creative processes and uses some unique methods and materials to create her artwork, so it was really fun to hear the behind the scenes on that! For those of you who missed it, last week we launched a graphic design contract template! Thank you all for your support on that!! It is thorough, peer reviewed contract, made in collaboration with my lawyer Kiersty Loughmiller. I always say hiring your own lawyer is the best option, but a contract template like this drafted by a lawyer is the next best and a super affordable option.

Today's guest is Jooahn. He is a graphic designer and lettering artist in New York City. He is currently working at an independent publisher in their children's book division. Jooahn recently had the first book that he designed published and printed. He tells us what the feeling was like getting that book in his hands. On that same project, the first time he designed it he actually did not set it up properly for print and had to go through it again. He shares the lessons he learned with that. Jooahn also recently did a project called the 365 days of hand lettering. Every day for 365 days he created a new hand lettering piece and shared it. He tells us his favourite ones, and the ones he liked the least. He is fairly new to the full-time design game but he does great work and has stories to share!

Today's guest is Emily Cheung. She is a freelance graphic designer and lettering artist in Vancouver BC. Her first job out of design school was with the marketing team at Whole Foods Market where she was a graphic artist. Emily tells us about the knee injury that gave her the moment of clarity she needed to start focusing on and pursuing the creative career path she had always wanted to. She also doesn't hold anything back when talking about a project she was a part of that did not go well. I'll just say detergent jugs, tube top... We also talk about the project Emily is the most proud of and it was a personal project for her family. Emily is super fun and I had a great time talking with her!
