Creative Lettering Workshop: Combining Art with Quotes in Mixed Media

If you are looking for a book about LETTERING which title suggests, then this is not the book for you. It is much more about making mixed media collages to go with quotes and about describing that process than about lettering. Little description of different alphabets or fonts, or ways to letter. Only one page on hand lettering, but others on stamping, stencils, transfers, etc. As a book on collaging, it does have good process pictures and a lot of "how to" details on that, and quite a few samples of finished mixed media work. I was misled by the title, only reason I gave it only two stars.

This book is an inspirational collection of wonderful artists who use lettering in their art. While it does not teach lettering - it clearly shows some great ideas for what tools to use in a few step-by-step breakouts. What I liked most about his book is that it gives loads of creative ideas for combining artwork with lettering in a mixed media environment (with some fantastic quotes.) I was reminded of a techniques I knew but haven't used recently - using matte medium to "write" lettering, and also introduced to something new - liquid pencil.

This is better for the more creative person using lots of mixed media in their work. I was more interested in creative lettering and less in the art media application. I thought the title was somewhat misleading.

I haven't had time yet to really go thru it, but the table of contents seems like it's gonna be great!

Fabulous Book! Full of inspiration and great instructions. This is a “KeepeR!”

not what I thought it was going to be when I purchased but I used it a lot. Glad I got it.

love it

Nice book. I will be able to apply what I learned to my artwork.

Really great book, an enjoyable read.

Good examples. Limited instruction
