Calligraphy for work - FBCZ Motto

Family of Faith - FBCZ Motto Calligraphy - JFleming 2016

Did this design for some cut vinyl that will go into our new Ministry Center. Will be black vinyl on a yellowish tan wall. Will take a photo once it's up.

Design went through three sketched versions before I landed on something that started to look right to me. All told, the design took more than 20 hours (including the 4 hour sketching time) and I enjoyed each second. Am so glad that I've got Adobe Illustrator to help me digitize the sketch into a vector format - that would've been a bear to do if I'd have had to do all of those points and curves by hand. As it was, I traced the cleaned up sketch scan in illustrator and then got rid of zillions of extra anchor points as I refined it. First version of the trace had girly ribbons with outlines that would've been really difficult to lay in cut vinyl but, the thickened lines aren't too terrible - we'll see how the printer does with it and how much of a monster it is to install.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Writing: Lena - Chapter 2

    So - thought I'd post the second chapter of Lena's story too. Let me know if you're enjoying it?  Could possibly release the first installment of this 2 novella story before the end of May. With this story, I feel like I'm flopping around outside of my comfort zone and although it's uncomfortable, I'm assuming these are 'good' growing pains especially since the gospel is a bit more central than in the last story I put out there.   .2. Picked Up Just before sunrise, clouds lumbered off to the northwest. I shivered in my damp clothing and stepped onto the glistening onyx ribbon of road to consider my options: one, follow it to civilization and risk running into Ted or his crew, or two, risk a slow death by turning from the road into the dehydrating desert. I couldn’t tell how far I was from where I had started, and didn’t want to risk meeting anyone along the road once the sun had fully risen, but before I had made a conscious choice, I heard the grave...
