#36daysoftype

#36daysoftype 2017 was fun! It’s a design / illustration challenge, where there’s a letter or a number for every day during the challenge period. Here are my letters. Diamonds, girls, french-kissing snakes, legs, wheel of fortune, mountains to climb, moon, cartwheels, kangaroos.. And even one of my favorite song of all times, “Twilight driving” (check it out!).ABCDEFG Pirita

And my numbers:

And there’s always those you love more than others…

From light to dark

So, due to the lightest time of the year in Finland, I decided to look back to the darkest time of the year: December and Christmas..

I took part in a postal stamp competition a few months back. The idea was to design a postal stamp for Christmas. Didn’t win it, but it was great I got time carved out to dig into postal stamp designing. Hope I get to design more of them some day! Here’s two of my entries, the favorite ones, and as you can see – they’re a couple… The scenery of the stamp is from Helsinki, Pohjoisranta (I used to run a lot there during winter).

I really liked the stamps that won. The illustrators did a great job!
