A Q&A WITH GEMMA O’BRIEN: THE QUEEN OF HANDLETTERING

ABSOLUTELY love Gemma O’Brien’s design and hand lettering works, I am sold.

Gemma O’Brien, Australian artist and designer specializing in lettering, illustration and typography, prepares for her upcoming exhibit, “Mrs Eaves101: The Hand-Painted Typography of Gemma O’Brien,” at the Laguna College of Art + Design Gallery. The words behind her read “Prove you’re Human.” (Kevin Chang / Coastline Pilot)

This reminds me that.. I really need to hit the sketchbooks way more often now. Been neglecting the pen and paper for a longer time than I would have liked.

Am excited to approach the Dictionary project in a research, investigative and exploratory manner, and will definitely weave in my hand letterings and handwritings. Will share more updates about the research progress. 🙂

Love,
Amanda Arielle
