From the Author

Hi, I’m Megan! For me, art has always been about the physical making: pencil-stained sides of your hands, eraser scraps on the floor, spilled ink at every turn, splattered paint for days. I’ve been drawing since I was an itty-bitty child, so the vivid memories of my sister and I – sitting together at our designated art table, creating masterpieces; cards for our grandparents, decor for the fridge, and as we got older, signs for friends’ lockers and covers for notebooks – are right there! I’d been drawn to art incorporating letterforms for a long time. I had always loved to sneak words into my work here and there. In the summer of 2012, as I sat in my new, tiny studio, no paycheck on the horizon, yet with my husband’s full confidence and support, I started drawing letters.

My first lettering projects were laughable, but I kept at it. I practiced and practiced and practiced more. I explored who I was going to be as an artist… but the one constant was that I was always lettering. So I decided to write a book about what I like to call 'the art of drawing letters' because I wanted to share how I’ve learned hand lettering. Whether you are a seasoned letterer, or a total beginner to the subject, I hope my book on hand lettering encourages you to practice and practice and practice some more. Find out what making art and being art means to you!
