Thinking about the way that the act of drawing and lettering makes me feel is what brought on this wonderful series of the word "Joy". On August 29th 2014, I began making daily posts to my Instagram & Tumblr of the word Joy, each illustrated in a different way. I also started a Behance set called "The Joy of Lettering" as a different set. I decided to share my Instagram/Tumblr series here as well.
Enjoy! :)
