In ‘Featured Lettering Artist Gemma O’Brien’ I introduce you to the Australian lettering artist. Gemma’s talents are not just limited to one style of lettering, and the size of her work is never limited either. I also discuss in some detail a piece of Gemma’s work that has stood out to me and that may inspire you too. As always I share a quote which is relevant to last weeks episode on slowing things down, it’s great for beginner letterers to have a play with, and a fun activity for the more seasoned lettering artist too. This episode wraps up with some hand lettering questions and answers. This podcast series shares helpful hand lettering information, tips, and resources, everything from beginning lettering to going pro. Previously episodes of the podcast were available every two weeks, episodes are now live every week, usually on a Tuesday!
