What is this? Handstyles! For as long as I’ve been drawing I’ve been practicing lettering. First i. the form of Graffiti, then calligraphy, graphic design, kerning, type setting, sign painting, and so many other forms. I’m not a designer or a lettering specialist, but I can hand write a few different styles and enjoy hand lettering when it’s done right.
Hyphen magazine “Yuri Kochiyama” lettering
Hey, peep the latest issue of Hyphen magazine. There are various articles in the magazine about Revolution, Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, People’s Kitchen, and more. I had a chance to do some hand lettering for a piece using a quote from Yuri. Support this magazine by getting one for your coffee table, classroom, or office because there ain’t too many magazines that focus on Asian American life, culture, and history like this one.

Handstyles 6- Zack dela Rocha/ One day as a lion
Me and my son both love this song called “Wild International” by One day as a lion (Zack and Jon Theodore) . I believe the original photo of him was taken by Ros O’Gormon, but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Colorlines “Morning Rush” lettering
Just finished this hand lettered type for Colorlines magazine. This is a great honor since I read the magazine and subscribe to it on many social networks. They are always on top of so many issues I want to know about involving education, media, law, activism, entertainment, etc and they have a keen eye for giving light to stories about people of color that many news outlets ignore until there is a national movement or protest in favor of it. Morning Rush is a place where you can find weekly articles that the their editorial team are reading and will most likely cover. Check them out. Thank you Colorlines! Shout out to my Art Director on this, designer Erin Zipper.

Quotes I Like 2- Stic Man (Endurance)
In case you never heard this track here it is “Runner’s High“. Revamping an old idea, just quotes. No rhyme or reason, with photo or without, just practicing hand styles. Meaning that these are written by hand, not font.

Handstyles 3-Hands Off Syria!
If the U.S. Is getting involved, something is fishy, punto! Bombs do not equal liberation. Only Self determination with no US dollars funding sides and utter chaos. Here is a partial list of places where it is documented that the U.S. Disrupted, destroyed, or overthrew the governments (and many times democratic countries who refused to bow to US companies/corporations) and used the media to put forth an entirely contrary story:
Iran
Chile
Guatemala
Nicaragua
Indonesia
Afghanistan
Iraq
Ghana
Democratic Repub of The congo
Angola
The Philippines
Libya
Cambodia
Vietnam
Brazil
Haiti
Dominican Republic
Puerto Rico
Iran
Chile
Guatemala
Nicaragua
Indonesia
Afghanistan
Iraq
Ghana
Democratic Repub of The congo
Angola
The Philippines
Libya
Cambodia
Vietnam
Brazil
Haiti
Dominican Republic
Puerto Rico
Oh you’re going in to save or free the people of Syria? Bullshit! Tell that lie to somebody else. And conversate with your friends,relatives, co-workers, let em know this beast called US Imperialism has left tracks and foot prints of destruction in many many places.
