We just finished another sold out session of Letters & Colors. Iโm still chuckling because the last thing I ever thought of when I started working with Abbey Sy is a collab. We were always busy going about our deadlines together but we had very different styles and palettes.
But I guess, we agree on principles like embracing your own style and workflow. This is what we always share during workshops and this November, weโre taking it to Singapore with the following class schedules:
November 12 -LETTERS & COLORS SINGAPORE WITH ABBEY SY & THE GOOGLY GOOEYS, 12nn-6pm at The Untitled Space (Sign up at bit.ly/GGworkshops or at the end of this post.)

Hereโs the wall of sample artworks from the workshop. Itโs finally nice to see them all side by side after working on deadline after deadline and sleeping at around 3am on most nights! :O *OMG*
I just finished turning over a good chunk of my latest projects so itโs just really nice to sit back, blog & pour my thoughts on this blog. I really miss doing this!
Looking back though, I believe I learned a lot about lay-outs, discovered more colors and learned to chase deadlines more efficiently and also acknowledging and forgiving myself for my limitations thanks to le officemate Abbehh.
Speaking of discovering more colors, hereโs our workshop participant Riri playing with her Faber-Castell 12 Watercolor Set. By the way, here are the materials for the Letters & Colors Class:
โ Activity Worksheets
โ Abbey Sy dotted notebook
โ Googly Gooeys notebook
โ Pencil, eraser, ruler
โ Set of Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens (S / M)
โ Faber-Castell Watercolors
โ Watercolor sheets
โ Tote bag

Hereโs our tandem demo table. It looks like itโs been set up but thatโs how scattered our stuff are when we work. Hahaha. Below is a sneak peek of Abbeyโs demo. Yes, when I have the time, I do love lurking around with a camera during the workshop & checking peopleโs work through my lens instead. ๐
The rest of the photos are our workshop participantsโ worksheets using Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens in Small & Medium Tips.
One thing that gives lettering work additional depth is tracing over the final work with a fine liner. ๐
We also shared our Faber-Castell Classic & Polychromos Colored Pencils during the workshop so participants can explore which medium theyโre most comfortable with aside from watercolor. ๐
Above are works of Abbey Sy upclose. ๐ Watch out for something exciting on September 10 by the way!
