For most of my life, I have worked very hard and got little in return. The things I really want continue to be unrealistic fantasies.</p> <p>Despite all the rejection and disappointment, one dream has come true: being able express myself through type and lettering. For years, this dream was something I desired but ignored because I didn’t think it was possible.</p> <p>Seeing that dream turn into something great, I have decided to stop ignoring my desires and figure out how I can make them a reality. It’s not easy, but I must give my dreams some attention.</p>http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/21378312219http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/21378312219Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:51:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0wvi6HyeS1qa6t0go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I should really be pluralizing this…</p>http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/19333681143http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/19333681143Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:34:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0wk96Y4FL1qa6t0go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy <a href="http://www.piday.org/" title="http://www.piday.org/" target="_blank">3.14 day</a> folks!!</p>http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/19321610280http://www.dailycalligraphy.com/post/19321610280Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:31:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lznp8dK7k11qa6t0go1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>I kind of like that ar.
