One line for 2024-04-01: I spent the whole day doing lettering while feeling sick, and to end the day, I listened to Taylor Swift's new album "Tortured Poet Department."



I planned to make a wall art for my room using a line from Taylor Swift's song "Innocent." The lyric goes, "Today is never too late to be brand new," and I love it. I thought it would be nice to have that reminder every day, so that's the quote I went with.


Started off thinking it would be straightforward, something I could write on paper, but it turned into a full-on art project!

It feels like going from zero to hero in just one day! LOL. 

The Process

The first draft trying to get the hierarchy done

Switched into a hat!

Finally became an illustrative style.

The phone wallpaper version!

I am proud of the design, although it's not fully completed yet as I still need to tweak some letters.

I'll use it as my phone wallpaper for a bit before I give it the final touches, which might never come, lol.


P.S. I might jot down the whole process on my lettering box at some point. I've been getting into practicing lettering, so I could start doing some commissions like lettering people's names or phrases.
