In fact, you can use Lettering on every medium where you can applyGraphism : books, visual identities, CD covers, event displays, or anything else.Įven in animation like in movie credits, web ads, video mapping, etc. Today, I can’t say I make a decent living with my work.īut I hope one day I will, here in France or elsewhere. Some cultures are more likely than others to work with lettering artists. I think it’s the secret dream of everyone (laughs). 5) What are your thoughts on making a living as a hand lettering/ calligraphy artist? Is it possible? What are your experiences with this? It sometimes happens that I start drawing on paper with brushes, inks and other stuffs but I admit it’s very rare now. The sensations on iPad with an Apple Pen are really close to the real sketching. So that’s kinda new for me to digitize my process. 4) You are really enjoying creating your work in Procreate with your iPad Pro, what about the traditional methods of lettering, what are some of your favorite lettering tools? But every time I start with a rough sketch. Sometimes the quote I want to illustrate is really inspiring. Sometimes it all starts with a graphic technique I want to explore. Letters are just a pretext to give sense to shapes you are putting together. Series, design, books, food, people, stylism, clouds, news, artists, architecture, everything. So if I have to answer about where I get my inspiration from, I guess I’d say I get it from everywhere I see. You need to be open-minded, be aware of what is. I think curiosity is the best way to stay creative and improve your skills. 3) Based onyourinstagram feed, we can see that you are really into creative lettering (tweaking shapes, perspectives etc.) Where do you get your inspiration from? What does your creative process look like? That’s why I never stop to work with letters all theses years. In my opinion, graphic design is a way to express yourself, and show what (and who) you are.

With dotwork, I continued working with letters, and I felt anew, free to show and introduce my work to people again. Step by step, I withdrew from graffiti for another very specific technique: dotwork (see photos) It was exhausting to fight against prejudice regarding that practice… In France, graffiti had a very bad reputation: the concept and the word itself is misconceived. When I was about 10 years old, I used to draw my friendsnames on a piece of paper, and give them the result as tiny gifts.Ī few years later, I figured out there was a specific word to define what kind of drawings: graffiti. How did it all start? I guess I got the lettering fever as soon as I learned to hold a pencil and got to write properly (laughs). 2) How did it all start? When and why did you get into lettering? If I had to define what I do, I think I’d say, at the moment, I’m a graphic lettering maker. I recently found that, when I was a child, I couldn’t stop drawing letters (see below the old sketches I found at my parent’s) I live nearby Paris and studied graphic design for years, going from web design to motion design. What could I tell you to briefly introduce myself? My name is Tom Ad but I prefer to hide behind my pseudo “Dess” (laughs). Needless to say, I was instantly hooked by the amount of amazing and unique artwork that Dess has been putting out on his Instagram profile.Īnother very cool feature that caught my eye was the gradient changing color effect that Dess has been carefully curating on his profile ( definitely check it out!)Įnjoy the interview! 1) Thanks for joining us for the interview! Feel free to introduce yourself to the community. I’ve had the pleasure to have a quick chat with Tom Ad, (also known as Dess) a lettering artist based in France with quite an intriguing and unique artistic style!
