Home is where the art is

Hey everyone! It's been a while. I did a design project to procrastinate today and I wanted to share it with you!

First, the finished product:

This is a digitized version of some hand lettering I did to pass the time this summer. 

Below is a picture of the original drawing:

I took this image with my cellphone and then brought it into Photoshop to crop it, get all the letters lined up and centered as best I could, and change the contrast so it would be super easy for me to trace in Illustrator:

Then I traced each letter with the pen tool in Illustrator to make the linework as close to the original as possible, but with cleaner lines. I added some horizontal lines next to each "is" to bring the piece together and make it feel like a whole. Et voilà!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like me to make you a poster or something similar out of your favorite quote!

ALSO I designed and coded my own portfolio site (which I need to update over Thanksgiving break), which you can visit HERE!

Thanks for looking! Hopefully I'll be back soon :)
