Dallas Clayton is a very skilled and talented artist. His work can take on many forms and often sends out great messages too. In ‘Featured Lettering Artist Dallas Clayton’ I give a little intro about Dallas and then discuss a piece of work that he created which stood out to me. I provide an inspiring quote for you to have a go at hand lettering in whatever style that takes your fancy. Then towards the end of the episode answer a very common question that many lettering artists will ask themselves at least once if not more in their lettering journeys. 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!
