God is Love, Day 6

This "God is Love" design was created for my current employer, Faithlife. I wanted to bundle the type for "God" and "Love" as tight as possible to allude to the idea of the inseparable nature of the two.

One interesting thing about this piece is that it's the first time I'd ever tried hand lettering. I'd always thought it was just a skill that I'd never have the ability to do. After seeing some buddies at work churn out a bunch of amazing hand lettered pieces (Fred Sprinkle and Jon Deviny), I decided I had to give it a try. Since then, I've become addicted to hand lettering. I'm not great by any means, but I just love the exploration of type and custom lettering. I've even started hosting a "Lettering Night" at my house, where friends come over and we hang out, drink some beers and do some lettering.
