As part of the Lettering Style Challenge, I decided to create postcards from some of the favourite places I’ve been to.
We were given a prompt and we had to use that particular lettering style to spark our creativity to let our piece have it’s own personality and speak for itself.
Agra is the first thing that comes to mind whenever anyone wants to travel here. Seeped in Mughal Architecture, I remember reading as a child that the true beauty of the Taj Mahal is witnessed on a Full Moon Night.
I made my lettering part of the Mughal Jali and gave it a pale yellow colour and the background a lovely midnight blue to represent the moonlight in the dark of the night.
Ribbons are feminine and soft. I wanted my piece to be just as delicate and light. The coastal city of Kochi seemed perfect for this. The ocean and the unique Chinese fishing nets seemed to bring my vision to life.
For this prompt, I had my mind on Diu and this one facade that I found really pretty there.
Diu is a small island joined to the state of Gujarat with a bridge. With its Portuguese Architecture and influence in the town, it seemed only apt to bring that out for this piece.
After a lot of experimentation and wondering why I decided to paint such an elaborate background, I completed this postcard. The initial style of my lettering didn’t work and I had to re-do it to match the background once it was done. Finally, simplicity won and something emerged that I was happy to look at.
For the prompt Psychedelic, Rishikesh just fit right in.
A holy town by the river Ganga that emerges from the Himalayas, it is known as the Yoga Capital of the World. People come here to learn and practice different Yoga styles and it is filled with Pilgrims, the Spiritually Curious and Adventurous.
Here I decided to illustrate the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram or better known as Beatles Ashram accompanied by Psychedelic Lettering and gave it a Rastafari drop shadow.
Soundrider : Stickers Design & Type Treatment
Soundrider Sticker was one of my first projects when I pivoted towards Lettering, Illustration & Digital Art. Idea was to use it as the identity of @soundrider and I wanted him to have his own sticker!
And then when @soundrider asked that he wants a version with just the Logotype, I told him I had a vision for it and to wait for the reveal.
Inspired by Vintage & Retro Cars & Motorcycle Logos, I wrote Soundrider in the same style and gave it a type treatment for it to look realistic & give that 3D Chrome effect 🏍️

My reels may not be top-notch but my memories are ✨✨✨
Sing With La Guitarra
Valerie - Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse
Days where we could sing songs in pretty places are not distant anymore 💕
A sunny day in Manali with Ido, Manu & Noy. We sat on the stairs of buildings, with the Himalayas surrounding us and filled this day with songs. 🎶
PS- Did you notice the birds whistling the song? 🎶🐦

On an evening walk to soak in a bit of essence of Bir, I visited the Chokling Monastery to spend some time in my own company, observing life as it passes by.
These are some of the moments that brought a smile to my face, after catching a cold and not feeling like I had done much and days were just passing by sick.
And finally when I felt a little bit of strength returning to my body, it`s so fascinating to notice how a simple walk around in the village can lift your spirits up instantly.
So, tell me what brings calmness to your soul?

Sometime last year after I had fractured my shoulder and the doctor told it was okay for me to start using my hands to draw again, I was ecstatic!
My hands were itching to create magic after almost two months of rest. It was also a time of contemplation for me, rethinking what I was drawn towards the most, the one I could now call my calling. And it happened to be “Lettering”.
The art of decorative letters was fascinating and the myriad of ways I could draw the same 26 of them to convey moods on any part of the spectrum. I took @aureliemaron‘s courses to refine my skills to take up more client work.
One of my first projects was to create a Studio Sign for “Inside Traveller’s Shoes” which would act as a platform for both my Travel and Art Ventures.
My inspiration was to incorporate Neon Signs and the Wild West and I am extremely happy with this result.
So tell me, What ignites your soul on fire lately?
