Edit: HOLY COW, a DD!! I am so very flattered and humbled, thank you so so much! And thank you ^pica-ae for featuring me, I am beyond stunned!! You are all wonderful! :heart:

Hiya! So, back in college I was a Graphic Design major, and I had to take a few typography classes. My typography teacher hated me. I don't know why, but she was just a really mean person and liked to yell at us a lot. She made me cry on my birthday!

Anyway, she really turned me off to typography and I never really bothered with it despite being interested in it. Recently I discovered seanwes.com and I absolutely fell in LOVE with his work. I got so inspired I decided to make one of my all-time favorite sayings into an art piece!! And MAN, typography is HARD. I'm not one to use a ruler if I don't have to, so my lines aren't all very straight. Plus, I used this thick watercolor board which is really textured (duh), but I'm really pleased with how it came out! I have all sorts of other ideas I want to try out now - so glad I finally got over my intimidation of it!!

Lots of references used here, as usual! ;)

Earth Stars by ~waltzinghippie is a wonderfully drawn traditional piece of typographic lettering. The letters and words have a great flow and the illustrative parts are detailed and full of character. ( Featured by ^pica-ae )

This reminds me of Lawrence Krauss' quote about how we are all literally made of stardust, which shows us how poetic science and reality can be. I love the design you made in the middle, how the sun and the moon complete a circle together as they kiss, nestled in the soft clouds.

Yes, I totally agree! I love this saying because it's true and it's poetic, just like you said - it just all comes together! Thank you, hun :heart:
