Sean Wes: Early Wake, Daily Write

I've been admiring Sean Wes' hand lettering work for years now, and lately Sean has been sharing his knowledge, not only on how to get started on hand lettering, but also on how to make a living with your passion.

Sean is such a prolific artist, and besides doing lettering work, he has an amazing podcast in which he discusses creativity and business.



This is one of my favorites videos he has posted on his Youtube channel: Early Wake, Daily Write: How to make a name for yourself. I've been trying to be more consistent with my writing and be more disciplined, so I recommend watching this video to hear Sean's insights on the topic. He's so articulate and smart and has quickly become a mentor figure to me.

Sean is working on his book The Overlap Technique, which he will be releasing for free, so make sure to sign up to his mailing list to be notified.

Free and in love

I'm a big fan of Free People, and I was excited to see this short film starring Christopher Abbott (from my favorite show Girls) and model Sheila Marquez. What a beautiful love story.

The Ultimate Hitch Cookbook

I recently discovered the work of we think things, a motion graphics studio and am really impressed with their wonderful portfolio. (They also have one of the best about pages I've ever seen ) Their work is amazing and very clever, I specially love the Hitch Project. From their site:

 " It’s about »The Ultimate Hitch Cookbook«, an animated book containing the recipes for Alfred Hitchcock’s classics. It’s made for Hitchcock enthusiasts and every other couch potato out there."

Do you like Alfred Hitchcock? Which is your favorite movie? I love Psycho and Rear Window.

Hero

Wow. My mind is blown. I love stippling and pointillism, but Miguel Endara has taken this technique to a whole different level. His drawing "Hero" is perfection.

Ikea's Art of Cooking

Remember the Ikea cookbook?  The same team behind the book (including Carl Kleiner) have made a series of videos entitled "Art of Cooking". Aren't they awesome?

Ok, watch this video and then tell me you don't want to pack your bags and move to Paris.

Beautifully edited, this video manages to capture all the magic of The City of Lights and makes you want to be there. Also, AMAZING typography.

Vivez la langue, indeed.
