26: A LETTERING SHOW at WEMAKE PORTLAND

WeMake Portland reached out to me in early January and invited me to participate in their show 26, for Design Week Portland. We were given the parameters that the piece had to be 9x9" and we could only use three colors: Orange, Black, and Metallic Gold, plus either cream or white paper. Beyond that, we had free reign. 
At that time I was, and still am, obsessed with the song "Meet Me in the Woods" by Lord Huron, so I decided lettering some lyrics from it would make for the most fun piece I could make. 

The show was free to attend, and all proceeds from the sales of the prints went to arts education.

From their site:

Join 26 international, national, and local typographers and letterers as they display their exclusive 9x9 prints, created using only three colors — black, metallic gold, and WeMake orange. Each of the artist’s 40 limited-edition prints showcases a letter, word, or phrase, and will be available for purchase. Some of the letterers participating include Gemma O’Brien, Tobias Hall, Erik Marinovich, Maia Then, Nick Misani, Mary Kate McDermott, Masgrimes and Zach Yarrington. You’ll only be able to purchase these prints at this once-in-a-lifetime show, and 100% of the proceeds go towards funding arts education in Portland.
