Hey HOMwork friends, happy Friday!

This week we're featuring another guest teacher, my good friend Stefan Kuntz! Stefan is a lettering artist who is passionate about encouraging and inspiring others through his art and personal stories as well as helping designers create more through his tool kits. Make sure to check out his website and follow him on Instagram.


From Stefan:

I get to travel a lot for work, which is a dream come true, but I love coming back home just as much. As I’m writing these words I’m preparing for a big transition. I will be moving back to Switzerland after spending 18 months in Australia. Therefore, home means a lot more to me than simply a place where I reside and I would love to see what home means to you.

We‘ve all seen the sign at a friends door and maybe you have one too "Home is Where the Heart is", this week I challenge you to put your own spin on this cliché.

This week’s #HOMwork assignment is to fill in the blank “Home is where ____”.

Watch a special video Stefan made about this assignment just for HOMwork subscribers here or dive straight into the challenge!

Let your creativity run wild, think of something that is fun or profound, something that is unique to you and gives us an insight into who you are behind closed doors. 

Here a couple of fun examples:
Home is where the snacks are free
Home is where my pants aren’t
Home is where the wifi connects automatically

Caption Idea: Tell us what home means to you! 

Extra Credit: 
If you feel like home is too long of a word, I get it. Let’s not make it about homebut about our favorite Hom, Lauren Hom 🤗. “Hom is______”. 

Engagement Tip: At the end of your caption, ask your audience what creative tools they love and to tell you in the comments. It’s a fun way to discover new art supplies to use + engage with your artistic peers.


Don't forget to tag @homsweethom and @stefankunz and use the hashtag#HOMwork so we can see what home means to you. We'll be sharing our faves in our stories all week!

Love,
Lauren & Stefan

Lauren Hom

Lauren Hom is a designer, letterer, and educator. A self-proclaimed "artist with a business brain", she picked up hand lettering as a hobby while studying advertising in college. Over the next few years (and thanks to the power of the internet), she leveraged a few clever passion projects into a thriving design career.

When she's not designing, you can probably find her cooking an elaborate vegetarian meal at home or finally making her way through the niche craft supplies she bought last year.
