Joodie

I love art, calligraphy, brush lettering, hand lettering, pens, markers, paper, ink, journaling, mixed media, illustration, zines, books, movies and photography. I love to go on road trips and be in nature. I like vintage stuff, grunge, pen/ink drawings, and colorful messy type stuff. (I should note that I hate loose glitter. I don't like it getting all over me, so leave the pixie dust out please.)

I'm mainly into lettering/calligraphy and 2-dimensional crafts. So all kinds of paper, stickers, stamps, stencils, flat-ish adornments, die cuts, rub ons, pens, pencils, ink, paint, pictures, clip art. Anything pretty flat I will probably like. I don't like overly cheesy type graphics and prefer more grungy, or vintage, or stylized imagery. I do like some super cute illustrated stuff though, like tiny animals, owls, deers, dogs, whales, and other adorable-ness. I like tribal prints and vintage patterns. I like mixing various textures like foil, crackle, gloss, matte, rough, smooth, old/handmade, glass beads, texture paste, etc. So if you have cool paper laying around I'd probably love it. I use old book pages a lot too, especially if they have old illustrations on them. I love simple line drawing of just about anything! (That's why I'm an illustration major.)
