Hello Steemit!
Hi, my name is Brandon Sahlfeld. I'm a visual artist/designer currently attending Oregon State Univeristy as an art student.
Here's a quick version of my art story so far. I never really drew or intentionally made art for most of my life. I was a passively curious kid who stumbled into this thing (art) around five or six years ago when I decided against becoming an engineer. During the fall of 2011, I declined my admission to OSU as an engineering undergrad and instead chose to take some community college courses in basic design. Degree requirements pushed me to take an elective, so on a whim I enrolled in a calligraphy course. Nearly six years later I am approaching my graduation from university with a degree in Visual Arts.

While most of my work and interest revolves around type or text in some form, I am influenced by an ocean of random interests which eventually brought me here, to Steemit.
My work has a heavy focus on lettering and calligraphy but is not necessarily tied to it (yet).
This was just a brief introduction to my story and some of my work that I hope will continue to grow alongside this community. Thanks for taking the time to look!

Hello there and welcome to Steemit. I like your work x
Thank you!
Fonts are so cool! I used to practice copying different lettering from a fonts book on my way home on the school bus as a kid, a fond memory of a loved hobby, that I was recently reminded of when I was at a thrift store where I found this massive book called the precision type font reference guide version 5.0 , called the complete font software resource for electronic publishing. It has all sorts of funky fonts, and until now I knew of no one to share my treasure thrift store discovery, so -- kudos on your beautiful art work!
Sounds like an awesome thrift store find! Just looked into the book a bit, and I've been wanting to get some larger reference like it, might have to consider this one. Thanks!
