As I prep for my workshops and breakout sessions for #EuViz , I reflect on my lettering journey.
In 2016 I found myself in Mazeppa, Minnesota studying with @mikemeyersignpainter
Mike was about to give his first demo when @ahsparks walked in and sat down. I felt like I already knew her. And over the next 4 days we became good friends. I am so grateful for that opportunity to get my hands in the paint, a gutfull of Grainbelt, and to be on TV, in a parade, and try my hand at gold leaf.
Mike is one of the kindest and funniest teachers I’ve had.
And Amy has a very unusual way of ordering eggs for breakfast.

Another piece from @mikemeyersignpainter's workshop. I love upslanted script lettering in general (who doesn't?), but this piece was using an bevelled outline, which was just as much fun as it looks. @holly_pereira_illustration x @huskiesagency #hollypereira #inthecompanyofhuskies #mikemeyer #signpainting #signpainter #lettering #illustratedtype
This piece was an exercise in @mikemeyersignpainter's workshop I did last month. I started signpainting a couple of years ago, and I love the fusion between typographical design, lettering design and traditional skills. Mike's workshop was amazing; we got so much personal tuition, and greatly benefitted from his years of experience. @holly_pereira_illustration x @huskiesagency #inthecompanyofhuskies #hollypereira #mikemeyer #signpainting #signpainter #lettering #illustratedtype
Sometimes what’s in my head doesn’t come out the way I envision. It’s supposed to look like a post WWII graphic. But it’s all about playing around and getting better each time. #handlettering #victory #mikemeyer #betterletters #handpainted #signs

Second day of sign painting workshop and what can I say...? I’m in love! And I’m afraid I got addicted to sign painting 😁 Thanks a lot for all your teachings @mikemeyersignpainter. So proud to learn from the best!
Day one of my first Sign Painting workshop and I’m loving it! . I know there are a lot of mistakes and I’m not perfect, but I still want to post this because one day I’m going to look back at this and say: maaaan I was really bad back then and look at me now! :D . #signpainting #lettering #handlettering #mikemeyer #betterletters
