Does clinging to a particular “type” ultimately undermine the capacity for genuine growth, or might it merely echo unresolved wounds that distort the multifaceted nature of attraction?

Wes Franklin is a lettering artist based in Bendigo in Victoria and known for his relaxed script lettering, and we got to know Wes because of his work in the last four Typism books. Wes has a focus on mural and logo work and likes to work with small businesses, non-profits and community groups. That's exactly why we asked Wes on to the Typism podcast to talk about collaboration. Many lettering artists and freelancers work in isolation so it's nice to see the effect working with others can have on our work. https://www.typismcommunity.com/blog/typism-podcast-wes-franklin

Kell Sunshine is a lettering artist based in New Zealand and known for her gorgeous colour palettes and mural work. There's barely a town left in New Zealand without one of her gorgeous works gracing the walls. One of the gifts that Kelly gave me when she spoke at the Typis conference was a sticker that says stop being so busy. We asked Kell on to the Typism podcast to talk about a topic that lettering artists often struggle with, especially in this age of the internet and that's to stop wearing busyness as a badge of honour. https://www.typismcommunity.com/blog/typism-podcast-kell-sunshine

Dr Libbi Reed recently completed her doctoral studies at Griffith University and her research examines creative self-expression and sense-making through expressive lettering techniques. The latest development in her process is to use visual note-taking, or as she likes to call them, sketch notes, to make sense of the world around us and also the inner world. We asked Libbi on to the Typism podcast to talk about the importance of self-expression through lettering. https://www.typismcommunity.com/blog/typism-podcast-libbi-reed
Wanissa was a speaker at the Typism Conference on the Gold Coast and I have discovered over the years that Wanissa and I share two passions. One is dogs and the other is playing Gardenscapes. Wanissa has decided to turn one of these passions into a creative side-business called Dapper Pupper. The idea to build a business hand lettering bandanas for dogs evolved organically out of a combining of multiple passions and interests, so we’ve asked Wanissa on to the Typism podcast, to talk about how to harness your passions into projects. https://www.typismcommunity.com/blog/typism-podcast-wanissa-somsuphangsri
Wayne Thompson is a typeface designer and lettering artist who also tells terrible dad jokes and plays guitar in a band.

She’s always been incredibly helpful to anyone and everyone who meets her and is all about sharing knowledge within the lettering community.

Aurelie is a graphic designer and lettering artist based on the Gold Coast, Australia. She started drawing letters and designing logos before she even knew what it was called. She got properly introduced to the art of typography while studying at Griffith University back in 2010. She began posting her work online (chalk typography in particular) without thinking people would enjoy her work or be inspired by it. Over the past few years, she has been incredibly lucky to speak @Typism conference, start teaching typography at Griffith University and built her own creative design business. Her mission is pretty simple: produce the highest quality work for every client, on every creative project. She also strives to share her knowledge with upcoming designers and hand letterers. follow her on Instagram @aureliemaron or www.aureliemaron.com Subscribe to KarmaSocial available on iTunes & Spotify Music by Grapes - I dunno (ft.

Today's guest is Kiel Tillman. He is the owner, designer, illustrator, and mural artist at Tillman Creative Co. on the Gold Coast in AUS. During this episode, we talk about how surf culture, skate culture, and playing with laser cutters all contributed to Kiel's creative path. Kiel tells us about a recent speaking gig he had at the Typism conference and what that was like. We talk about how he was able to get the attention of the WuTang Clan on a tour they were doing in AUS and how he ended up designing stuff for them. He also tells us a couple of stories where things didn't go smooth. One involves a "tax" punch in the gut after his best year ( I see you freelancers ), and the other involves a live painting project he was working on for a Jägermeister event....live...

I sat down to ask Founder of Typism Dominique Falla all about growing a global community and what it took to get there!
Master on None but Jill of All Trades How many times in life have you felt that internal urge to pursue something yet you're hesitant because it differs from what you currently do? Sometimes it's okay to be a jack or jill of all trades instead of a master of one. Each one of us is a passion weaver and each passion thread we weave has a similar underlying structure to it all? Maybe it's just our job to connect the dots and see how everything aligns together? This is a deep concept but it makes so much sense if you think about it. This week I want to present to you Dominique Falla, HBIC of the Typism Global Lettering Community. It has blossomed into a massive Instagram account, a conference, a book and an online summit which you’ll hear more about in the show. She’s also a Passion Weaver, Speaker, Author, Typographer and has completed tactile string typography commissions for brands like Google, Bing, Penguin, Random House and Woolworths, among others. She will have a new book called Creative Fitness coming out in 2018. Dominique is a straight up rock star and some of the things we cover in today's episode are: Standing out with quality and doing something different Weaving together multiple passions Figuring out life's puzzle and the guiding force within you Not pressuring yourself to make your side hustle your main hustle Creativity is a muscle, exercise it every day Following your fun meter This is just the tip...of the iceberg that is of what we talk about in this episode. I have no doubt you're going to want to take on the world after listening to this one. Want to help the show grow? Consider supporting the cause on Patreon The World of Typism Typism originated from the idea that Dominique went to a conference to see Seb Lester. She found the other speakers all boring and wondered what it'd be like to host a conference of 7-8 Seb Lesters? Behold the Typism conference which started in 2013. It followed an every other year fashion following in 2015 and 2017. After speaking and teaching a workshop at Creative South in 2017, she decided she wanted to go all out and make Typism an annual event. Each Typism accompanies a book that typically is based on worldwide artists submissions. They are then put through the ringer of judges which leads to a curated book full of quality lettering and calligraphy. Typism 2018 will be held in August at the Gold Coast. You can get your tickets here. Typism Summit is now available and you can get immediate access to the library of videos for $97.
