Who’s your favourite Disney character? 👸🤴 With every video I post I get questions about the “stick thing” I use when painting 😂 It’s called a mahl stick and it’s been used by sign painters and artists alike for over a hundred years. It’s comprised of a telescopic pole with a weighted end covered in leather which allows for increased balance and control when painting. For those interested in trying one out, in partnering with @alpha6corporation to create a limited edition run of mahl sticks to help you improve your painting. Follow the link in my bio to see the mahl sticks and get one for yourself. #disney #calligraphy #signpainting #handlettering #lettering #typography #goodtype #ligaturecollective #mahlstick

The one question I get asked a lot is "how do I make a living doing what I love"? Even though there’s no substitute for the years of hard work that you need to put in there are a few tips I’ve learned over the past 7 years that have REALLY helped me. If you read them, please let me know if they’re helpful. 1- Share your process consistently. Don't let people forget about you. I post 4 times a week and should probably do it more. I post Tuesday, Wednseday, Thursday, and Sunday around 3-4pm, they are the best times for engagement. 2- Be Engaging. Tell stories alongside your creations/ content. It could be ideas you had which led to the creation, your process, or even how you're feeling. Either way, just say stuff that people might relate to and then ask questions relating to it to get them engaging with the post. 3- Engagement is key. The more people like and comment (especially comment) the more likely your work will get featured on the explore page for the world to see. Another good place to get featured are curation pages like @Goodtype their audience is your potential audience. 4- Community is king. There are millions of lettering, type, and calligraphy, fans on instagram. Say hi to them, follow their work, and engage with them. I'm sure thy will repay the favour. 5- Video trumps image. In the past 2 years social media has shifted massively towards video content. If you can, share as much video content you can. If you're not making video content yet, you may be left behind. It doesn't have to be a massive production, a simple timelapse filmed with your phone is more than enough. 6- Curate your brand. Find a way to stand out, try out different colour schemes, lighting, style etc. See what you like best and keep it consistent. Let me know if these tips help! P.S. thank you to all who offered to send me Kool-Aid. I’ll have so many sachets by next week I’ll be able to finally fill a bathtub and swim in Kool-Aid #dreamsdocometrue #calligraphy #oddlysatisfying #signpainting #lettering #handlettering #type #typography #customlettering #thedailytype #typegang #goodtype #handmadefont #typematters #painting #art #artistsofinstagram #ligaturecollective

𝒮𝒸𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓉, 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟, or 𝙎𝘼𝙉𝙎 ? 🤔 When I began designing logos over 6 years ago I was fascinated by script logos! The way each letter form perfectly fitted in place to create an elegant composition inspired me to explore hand lettering and led to the bespoke logo design service I offer today! Join me in nerd-ing out over letters after a day of social media consulting by letting me know which lettering style gets you off the most… 😂 𝒮𝒸𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓉, 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟, or 𝙎𝘼𝙉𝙎 ? . . #chupachups #calligraphy #signpainting #lettering #handlettering #typegang #goodtype #painting #art #artistsofinstagram #ligaturecollective #illustration #logo

People are LOOSING THEIR MINDS after @instagram purged accounts last night. But does it really matter? When something like this happens it clearly highlights what’s wrong with social media: People value the number of followers more than the social aspect of the platform. Instead of nurturing relationships with fans around the world, some people seem to be focused on racking up numbers. What is important is that people like you see my content, enjoy it, and are hopefully inspired to create. You don’t need to follow me, like or comment, but so many of you do and that’s incredible! So THANK YOU for being a real appreciator of what I do, and THANK YOU @instagram for ridding my Insta of accounts that aren’t. Accounts like Arianna Grande dropped 3M followers, Selena Gomez over 2m, I dropped only 10k. How many followers did you loose?
