Word Nerd, Vol. I

I like words. A bunch. You might call me a word nerd. And then, I may bow deeply and tip my hat or pencil to you. Many, many times, my doodles take the form of some word or phrase. 

In an unending attempt to improve on my hand lettering skills, I've been playing with type a lot lately. I certainly don't claim to be a type designer, but it's fun to draw/illustrate letters - and get a better understanding of how each letter form works.

Here's a little before & after trial. Let me know what you think!
