I have been gone so very long many of you may have become convinced that I was done. I was really just buried under a ton of supplies and things that I had abnormal, sentimental attachments to.
Topics covered:
The power of letting go
Strategically organizing for creativity
The great inkwell cleanup
Confronting hoarding tendencies
My passion for the hand lettered arts is being rekindled through this major purging and I encourage you to make some tough decisions as well!

Where Have I Been & Ways You Can Improve This Offseason
Heey... How y'all doing? I took an unannounced but very much needed midseason break, or should I say end of season break?
Today in episode 19 I talk all about improving your craft. Is there something you feel pulled towards? How exactly can you find another discipline to dive into? Should you add this new skill to your service offerings or is this just for your own fulfillment?
So much to unpack and I'm so sorry I left you guys for so long. Please enjoy the episode and email me at CalligraphyUnscriptedQA@gmail.com with questions or episode suggestions!
