Spectator Mag asked me to illustrate two lines of The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. The headline ran alongside a piece about emotional attachments to jewelry.

Some gorgeous lettering by past CreativeMornings/Berlin speaker Martina Flor. Watch her talk.
A good reminder for all of us!
We love this hand-lettered letterpress poster by past CreativeMornings/Pittsburgh speaker Ryan Hamrick for Holstee.
“Everything changed to me when I found out that I had a passion for lettering."—Ryan Hamrick
In this short video, Ryan Hamrick talks about how he was initially introduced to lettering, and how that changed his life. Speaking to Holstee’s Manifesto, Ryan speaks on sharing your passion, and you’ll wish the clock moved slower—not faster.
As he speaks, you’ll notice that he’s working on a tantalizing typographic project in the background. It’s the ‘Share Your Passion’ print, for sale over on Holstee’s site.
These lovely letterpressed cards are the work part of past CreativeMornings speaker Ryan Hamick, as part of Holstee’s Artist Series, works inspired by Holstee’s Manifesto.
Ryan is a letterer and designer who were first introduced to back in May when he spoke on “Ssergorp"—perfectly aligned with our monthly theme of "Backwards.” Of course, he rolled out a limited edition print for that event as well!

At CreativeMornings/Berlin this February, Martina Flor joined speakers across our 44 chapters globally to talk about the sensitive topic of money.
Martina tackled the topic from her own experience, speaking about how through breaking the vicious cycle of staying in her own comfort zone, she was able to produce better work and get the jobs she really wanted. These are just a few of her (beautiful!) slides from the talk. A good tip for new and old creatives alike, Martina says, “Work is a very tangible thing that we can invest to go after the jobs that we want.”
By investing your time to build your portfolio and challenge yourself to create better work, you can skip the wait period in between and just start getting great jobs, making great work.
