Bee Yourself


This little piece is another in my newest series of handprinted quotes.  They are so much fun -- they’re like eating potato chips: you make one and you just want to make another one!

This piece was done on black charcoal paper with a Uni-ball Signo broad white gel pen and just a touch of yellow glitter on the back of the bee.

This was all done freehand with no rough draft.  I don’t know why I work that way a lot, but I do.  It seems like a little planning and a pencil layout would make my life easier, but there you have it.

Its little drawn frame reminds me again of the beauty (and usefulness) of the irregular line.  Oh, and I drew it on last, after finishing the lettering.  The whole piece of paper measures a little over 4 inches square.

Today I played and made lots of these, so I’ll be posting more later.

XOXO,
Lucky Dog
