Description: All the lettering in this design is hand lettered, using my variant of a brush script for “Pro-American” and straight edged geometric letterforms for “anti-communist.” I believe that the contrast of cursive script with geometric all caps letterforms represents the conflict of opposing worldviews which have largely shaped the modern world (e.g.: globalism vs nationalism, communism vs capitalism). I chose red, white and blue as my color scheme. This version of my design features a distressed texture for the background and “anti-communist” letterforms.
Description: "We the People" hand lettered in a gothic script style! For this design, I used my own hand lettering style inspired by the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution. For the background, I created a stylized star and stripes inspired by Air Force roundels. I chose blue and white for a harmonious color scheme.

Description: America has endured many trials and tribulations in its 250 year history. To represent the wear and tear on our republic, I created this design using a tattered Betsy Ross flag. This version of my design uses the Edwardian Script ITC font. I painted the text using the airbrush tool in Photoshop.
Description: The Declaration of Independence was signed about 250 years ago, and Americans have been resisting tyranny every since. In preparing this design, I hand lettered "1776-2026" with a calligraphy brush in Coral Painter, then I used the polygon tool in Photoshop to create the stars. For the text of "resisting tyranny", I chose the Edwardian Script ITC font for its formality and elegance. In this version of the design, I added a flame effect by laying out a solid base color for the flames with a texture brush. Next, I built up the colors with the airbrush tool. I wanted to utilize the colors red, white and blue, with both red and blue flames. I used a solid color underneath the flames so that the design can be printed on black t shirts.
Description: "God Bless the USA" is my hand lettered petition for God's blessing on this nation and its people. To create the words "GOD" and "USA", I modified block letters with the shape tools in Photoshop. My own brush script makes up the letters for “bless the”. The stars were created using the Photoshop polygon tool. I added the cross to represent America's Christian heritage. The tattered flag represents the many trials and attacks which our nation has survived. I do not use AI to generate my art. Everything I do is drawn and painted by me.

Description: I hand lettered "We The People" based on the original lettering in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution (mine is not an exact copy, but I tried to be faithful to the original). I added the stars using the polygon tool in Photoshop, and painted everything with the airbrush tool. I choose the gold coloring which looks great of dark surfaces.

I applied paint in Photoshop to create a red, white, and blue version which looks great printed on dark surfaces. I must say, I am surprised at how well this version of the design has sold, and grateful to everyone who has purchased one from my shop.

Description: I have seen many patriotic designs based on the early flags of the American Revolution, especially the Betsy Ross flag, and I have wanted to do my own version. For this design, I hand lettered "1776" and "We the People" (no computer fonts used here!) and painted my lettering in Photoshop. I used the polygon tool to create the stars and other shapes.
Description: This design is a variation of my "1776 We the People" design except that this version focuses only on the blue disc with stars, and I tinted the lettering and stars with a light blue.

Description: "God Bless the USA" is my hand lettered petition for God's blessing on this nation and its people.

Description: This quote by Mario Vargas Llosa describes the writer's never ending confrontation with himself as we struggle to navigate our own path through this life. For this design, I choose the Viner Hand ITC font, and added a geometric design constructed from the basic shapes (circle, square, and various triangles). I added the splatter effect in Photoshop.
Description: I hand lettered "Carpe Diem" in an energetic splatter-brush/inking style. This version of my design is black, best for printing on white or light colored surfaces. I added a drop shadow in Photoshop, which adds a 3D quality. In this age of "AI art" and computer fonts, it's fun to do some actual hand lettering for a change.
Description: Tempest can mean a violent storm, or a furious agitation, commotion, or tumult. It may also be a reference to Shakespeare's play. Mainly, I wanted to play with lettering design, using Photoshop's Chiller font. I applied a gradient to the font itself. The background was created using the shape tools to create a star within a circle and squares.
Description: This design is not for any company or music band. I have heard the phrase "organized chaos" many times in different contexts over the decades. I have seen the phrase on shirts, but I feel the designs never quite capture the true irony within the phrase. So I made my own design, choosing the Perpetua Titling MT font to represent organization, while the Chiller font expresses chaos. For the background, I created a circular perspective grid which represents the organizing geometry of vision, while a splatter brush effect adds a sense of chaos.
Description: Anyone who travels to Taiwan cannot help but full in love with the country. The landscape is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are wonderful. I hand lettered this design based on a script brush style. I applied a single color with no gradients for a minimalist aesthetic.
Description: Joshua challenged his people to choose whom they would serve, whether the gods of their ancestors or the Amorites, but he chose for his own household to serve the Lord. For this design, I started with the Blackadder ITC font, but modified it, redrawing parts of it by hand. I added a stipple effect with contrasting colors in the background.
Description: This design was was NOT created using any kind of AI. I designed and painted everything in Photoshop. I drew each gear separately (originally for another project) and then combined them with a previous heart design which I really wanted to rework. The result was this "Steampunk Heart". I modified the Parchment font to create the word "Steampunk" and Spencerian Script font to create "Love". Drop shadows and bevel effects help to make the text stand out against the background painting. This version of my design features dark text suitable for printing on light surfaces.

Description: Years ago I traveled to the land of Taiwan, where the landscape is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the people are wonderful. This design is my 2nd hand lettered tribute to Taiwan. I drew each letter in Photoshop. This version of my design is painted beige with a splatter brush pattern.
Description: Are we alone in the universe? Are we being watched from across the void? For this design, I used the Impact Font, adding a bluish gradient to create an atmospheric effect. The flying saucers were created with the Photoshop shape tools (ellipse, rectangle). For the background, I used the polygon tool, overlaying multiple shapes to create the star. I really tried to limit my use of gradations, relying as much as possible of flat tones layered to create the impression of gradations (which is better for printing).
Description: For "Free Spirit" I chose the spirited "Ink Free" front for its combination of legibility and playful handwritten quality. I used the polygon tool in Photoshop to create the background, overlaying many layers of polygons to build up the mandala pattern, as well as the impression of gradients (there are no gradients here, other than on the lettering itself - it was all done with flat color!) This was an interesting experiment in creating a lettering design that I wouldn't normally create, employing techniques and stylistic approaches outside my routine habits.
Description: This ancient philosophical maxim is often attributed to Socrates, but in fact, the phrase was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo and probably originated with the Seven Sages of Greece. For this design, I applied the Viner Hand ITC font in Photoshop, and resized/repositioned the text multiple times to represented the multi-faceted challenge of honestly attaining true self-knowledge.
