WEEK 6

Written By Lauren Hom

Hey there, thanks for joining us for Week 6 of HOMwork 2020!

#HOMwork GIF stickers for Instagram Stories are finally here! The next time you share your #HOMwork in your IG Story, search for homwork in the GIF sticker section to use these fun stickers, created by my studio designer Kristle.

This week, we have the amazing Kasi Turpin as the guest teacher!

Kasi is a designer, lettering artist & illustrator based in New York City. In her spare time she enjoys cooking it up in the kitchen & watching trash TV with her cute AF cat Mika. 

From Kasi:

I love breaking down the barriers around the shame of being too sex forward. Everyone does it so why can't we talk about it? It's natural, it's good for your mental health & let's get real- IT'S FUN. Last year I heard @sophiawallaceartist talk about her powerful project called #cliteracy. One thing she said really stuck with me - We put man on the moon in 1969 but it took until 1998 to discover the full anatomy of the clitoris. That is almost 30 YEARS later. This really inspired me to shift my focus to being more upfront and sex positive in my work. So spread the love & let's letter about sex!

Your assignment: Let's talk about sex, baby. It's Valentine's Day!!! Love is in the air & the clothes are coming off. Whether you letter & illustrate some self love or a hot note to your partner, make it all about sex positivity! 

Don’t forget to use the #HOMwork and #HOMwork2020 hashtags and tag @kasi_turpin and @homsweethom when you post your work on Instagram. We’ll be sharing our favorites in our Stories all week!

We can't wait to see all of your sex positive posts!

x,
Kasi and Lauren

P.S. Do you feel like you can't seem to create work fast enough? If so, you have to watch my latest Q&A video over on IGTV. Even if it looks like other creatives are cranking out pieces at lightening speed, it's important to be kind to yourself. I share tips to optimize your workflow and when it's important to embrace your pace. Click here to watch it!

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.
