Letters From Home Wrap Up

This week, we're wrapping up our Letters From Home mission that we started in response to COVID-19.

Back in April, when frightening COVID-19 news and rumours were bombarding our screens, we put the call out to lettering artists from around the globe to create work for our Letters From Home mission.

The mission was to brighten up your feeds by highlighting acts of kindness and sharing ideas for resilience and recovery. This was also a way to pass the newly found time at home!

We were overwhelmed with your support and the unbelievable artworks you created. With over 1200 artworks, we were able to flood your feeds with positivity and kindness. 

As we all now start to adjust to our new normal we wanted to take some time to reflect on some of our favourite pieces and thank you all again for participating!

Category is: what you drew last week but make it animated. Hope everyone is well and staying inside as much as possible. . This project was ideal for being stuck inside — a few hours of drawing frames felt like minutes. I have been following the tutorials recently posted by @marykatemcdevitt who also prefers lo-fi Photoshop frame animations. Recommended! . #handlettering #lettering #blocklettering #letteringanimation #animatedlettering #animation #photoshop #frameanimation #procreate #ipadpro #mkigtv @typism #lettersfromhome #quarantypism #lockdownletters #lookafteryourself #homeisolation #staysafe #stayhome #stayhomestaysafe

You know what to do. 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗕𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗. 👋🏻📲 В такое непростое время все мы знаем, что важно поддерживать друг друга. Звонить друзьям и близким. Готовить вместе по видео связи или просто обсуждать просмотренные фильмы и сериалы с бокальчиком в руке. Это даёт нам позитивные эмоции и помогает отвлечься от новостей.🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀ На эту иллюстрацию меня вдохновила @_agentgirl_ с ее позитивными прямыми эфирами. Спасибо,Настя! Я просто смеялась в голос. 😂 По свайпу влево вы увидите весь процесс рисования.✍🏻 ⠀⠀⠀ И, конечно же, ваши комментарии, ваша поддержка дарят мне мотивацию и вдохновение создавать новые и новые работы♥️ Спасибо и будьте здоровы! ✨

My entry for @typism ’s ‘Letters From Home’ project ✍️🏠🌈. The quote is by Muhammad Ali, which I thought was a perfect sentiment for our current collective situation. Thanks @alexandrasnowdon for bringing it to my attention. Hope everyone’s keeping safe and well – and staying busy doing your thing, whatever that may be 👊💪👏. #lettersfromhome #quarantypism #lockdownletters

If it’s the only thing you do today, be nice! 🌈⁣ ⁣ We’re living in some weird times right now, be nice however you can! Give a quick compliment to someone you see on your walk (stay 6 feet apart!), send a letter to someone you miss (and say thank you to your postal worker), send an e-greeting to a relative, make dinner for your quarantine partner! There’s a million and a half ways to stay positive, & everyone needs a little familiar comfort during this time! 💓⁣⁣ ⁣ Took some notes from @marykatemcdevitt’s IG TV animation tutorials, this one was super fun to do!! Big thank ya to Mary Kate for the awesome content aimed at helping artists get better ☺️⁣⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #homwork #illustration #womenofillustration #procreate #illustrator #handlettering #lettering #ipadlettering #procreatelettering #illustrationartists #illustrationoftheday #type #goodtype #dailytype #handmadetype #letteringchallenge #letteringartist #lettersfromhome #quarantypism #lockdownletters @typism

Care for our carers🌷They work so so hard every single day to care for our family members and friends. Long hours, no sick pay and the government only just seems to be stepping up to help protect them properly during this time. This is pretty close to my heart as my sister works at a care home near Stockport and I see how hard she works and how much she cares, so I wanted to share this post to help spread some love to our carers because they damn well deserve it🥰🤗 . . . . . . . . #careforourcarers #lettering #letteringco #handtype #handmadefont #handdrawntype #handdrawnlettering #typography #typedaily #typeeverything #typeyeah #typespot #typespire #supportourcarers #typegang #designspiration #procreate #procreatelettering #typematters #strengthinletters #ligaturecollective #thedesigntip #quarantypism #lettersfromhome

✨You’re doing great.✨ Okay, “great” might be a stretch, but you made it! Through another day. During a global pandemic. Let’s celebrate the shit out of that! When 5PM hits each day, I turn into a different person. A more hopeful person. And it’s not just because of the wine either! 😉🍷 When the evening comes, I feel like I’m one day closer to seeing the end of this thing. And that feels really good. ... ... So, whether “great” looks like laying in bed all day eating oreos and cheese puffs or working out and being super productive, YOU’RE DOING IT! You’re getting through this crazy time in the way that works best for you. And that’s pretty great. ... ... ... #lettering #handlettering #letteringpractice #handletteringpractice #letteringdaily #letteringco #letteringcommunity #thedailytype #letteringstyle #brushlettering #monolinelettering #typespire #typography #typographyinspired #typism #goodtype #strengthinletters #womenofillustration #girlsmakingmagic #letteringartist #procreatelettering #artlicensing #ncartist #durhamnc #lettersfromhome #quarantypism #lockdownletters #modernlettering #letterart #handdrawn

A global feeling. I've been having anxiety lately but when I think that everyone else in this fucking world is going through the same, I feel less lonely, less anxious. At least everyones world is going to shits and not only mine, like in 2018 hahaha. I wish it was only me tough and that we weren't going through this. But hey, shit happens. . Pues no. Juro q no quise hacer otro post de los Strokes, es simplemente ansiedad generalizada. LO JURO, SEÑOR JUEZ. #quarantypism

So much of the @demconvention tonight was inspiring—but I must admit, @iamjhud’s performance of “A Change is Gonna Come” at the close almost brought me to tears. Yes, please. #weneedachange 👏

My contribution towards @typism’s Letters From Home. 🏡 I’ve been a little quiet this end doing my best to keep the business afloat, managing rollers coaster emotions, reliving my teenage years by playing The Sims, and also remembering to wash my hands! 💧This too will pass, everyone!

There were just too many great artworks for us to share them all, so to see more visit the hashtag #quarantypism.

With the wrap up of the Letters From Home mission, October is going to bring something new, as we kick-off the start of our monthly challenges! Stay tuned to find out what our first topic will be!
