Backroom Blog Vol. III

Happy July Everyone. Welcome to Tinlark's Backroom Blog Volume III. This month Tinlark has gone crazy for text, type, fonts, hand-lettering, words, and thoughts expressed in artful ways. Whether there happens to be more great text-based work out in the world, or whether it's just that we're noticing it more now that we're really looking, we've found so many images that inspire and delight us. We're happy to share a select few with you. Please enjoy!

Here's something crazy we've been thinking about at Tinlark HQ: Human beings have been making art for 32,000 years. And yet, every single day someone out there invents a new way to combine thoughts and materials into a unique object that we've never seen before. Something that stops us in our tracks and makes us feel deep wonder and awe. And that's a total miracle. Thank goodness for art and the people who make it!

As always, we leave you with the video of the month: HERE
