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 of the word Joy, each illustrated in a different way. My Instagram series is called #SevenDaysOfJoy.
When I draw I feel free and happy. I feel like I can do anything and it is truly a joyful feeling when I am able to do this thing that I love.
Below is my short Behance series of "Joy".
Enjoy! :)
Enjoy! :)
