Black and White

 

A few years ago I was gifted a nice journal album with black pages. I had no idea what to do with it but this year I started lettering in it as I wanted to start using my white inks. So, here is a sneak peak of some of my creations!

I will post each soon as I finish but this is just a little teaser.

What is YOuR...

For C'mas I was gifted a box of w/c postcards and although I initially intended to do actually watercolor paintings on them (see this one for Lina on my Snail Mail blog:  https://snailmailingmadness.blogspot.com/2026/03/birdies-to-lina.html ) I have been lettering on them instead.

I'm trying to find inspiring quotes and will use these as inserts.

Love this one:  What is your Favorite thing about yourself?

Pilot Parallel and pp.

Spread Joy (colorful)

Various India inks, tools and styles

Pilot Parallel, Posca, Pilot Parallel slant

(italic, monoline, blackletter, uncial, expressive)

And just fo' fun, here is my sketch as I liked how that turned out.  ;)

 

Spread Kindness.

Got a box of watercolor postcards for Cmas and decided to do some lettering on them.

American Idiot

Lately, been re-discovering my love of Green Day (thanks SB LX '26 pre-game show!) so here's one version of American Idiot:

Close up of upside down O with the I.

K Caps with Pilot Parallel and script with Posca.

Wish i had done "Don't Wanna Be An" in red

And my test piece:

Silence is the Enemy.

After hearing Green Day was going to be performing at the Super Bowl preshow, i knew I had to letter one of their songs, as I've always been a fan. Not a HUGE, but still a fan. And now, and even BIGGER fan!

Although "Warning" is my fave song, I decided to letter "Know Your Enemy" as I love the lyric: Silence is the Enemy, esp. right now.

Used one of my Pilot pens and green India ink.

then used pp and metallic ink for the rest of the lyric

For the chorus, I used a grey Posca and lettered around the words in the opp. way.

Love, not hate.

At little late creating the Bad Bunny quote but also in time for Vday!!

Wrote the first part in Spanish and ended with inglesa!

pointed pen and Horizon nib with white India ink. (What??? THREE different cultures???)  ;)  😉😊

And then, I did this for a pen pal.

Alternated the quote in inglesa and Spanish with 3d heart on top.

"The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

Before adding heart.
