In this second installment of my behind-the-scenes series of Extraordinary Hand Lettering, I wanted to show how few tools Doris needed to create this lettered mirror. There were only 8 items she used in the project and that included her original sketch. With just a handful of the right tools, she's able to turn a simple mirror into a personalized piece of decor that can be gifted.

My good friend and fellow creative, Doris, published a book last year and I had the huge honour of photographing some photos for it. The book is full of her tips, techniques and tools for each lettering project.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at Doris' process of lettering this board for a whiskey and cigar bar-themed birthday. If you want to find out how to create your own whiskey board, you can get a signed copy of Extraordinary Hand Lettering.

Doris walks you through the project from start to finish, while giving you space to get creative with your own style of lettering.
Doris shows you what pens to use on different surfaces and the traits of each one.
Rainy days provide inspiration for bright-coloured shoots and even though it's April, we experienced a weekend of non-stop freezing rain and icy conditions so these mango shakes are adding a bit of brightness.
This is a very simple recipe. It only involves mangoes and milk and they're blended until smooth. The milk is optional and if you choose to leave it out, you'd have a mango smoothie which is just as good.
Small business owners want professional-level photos that are more than just portraits. They want photos that show them in action to represent what they do.

I photographed the Spring/Summer 2018 line of robes and printed shirts for my friends at friends over at By Catalfo. The theme was appropriately named Electric Tropics to celebrate the end of winter (soon!) and kick off the spring season.
