I have some good news! I have finally delivered my large painted sign to the owners of the thrift store that suffered severe fire damage this past spring. They were very grateful to have the sign and are hoping to reopen their doors soon, though they’re not sure exactly when. Hopefully, they’ll get things up and running this fall.

This past semester I was really digging on my lettering course, but also feeling compelled to connect more directly with my community, and maybe even help somebody with my work. So, for my final, I decided to try and unite my aesthetic, passionate interest in lettering with philanthropy and community focused design. I set out to create an old-fashioned hand painted sign, for one of the many well meaning organizations in Baltimore with less than wonderful signage. After some research, I decided on “The Action Upscale Cultural Community Thrift Store,” a secondhand store nearby my apartment, run by volunteers, that puts on programs for “women, youth, young adults, and the elderly”.
