I had a great time sharing my love for lettering in this month’s session and inviting Andy Fishburne on to show his lettering style in his gorgeous A4-sized bullet journal/sketchbook. I’ve included a 16-minute preview so you can have a look if you're not a subscribing Lab Partner.


I teach you to solve your problems and capture your ideas using loose, imperfect sketchnotes. To learn how, become a free or paid subscriber.
