A selection of illustration and lettering work
Mostly personal projects
Created for my illustrated newsletter, Daydronk.
This lettering series began as an idea I couldn’t shake around combining traffic sign verbiage with terms of endearment. The result was this collection of quirky, hand lettered graphics.
Some of the illustrated lettering pieces I contributed to Workman Publishing’s 2022 “Today Is Going To Be A Great Day” page-a-day calendar.
Though this project was ultimately killed, it was an enjoyable exploration in hand lettered type with the Epic Reads team.

From Megan and Ross, owners:
"Working with Delaney was such a delight. She is so talented and thoughtfully creative. We asked her to make a custom design for a mural that outlines the process of making specialty coffee. We wanted something that was unique, informative and that would peak the interest of the customers in our store. Delaney exceeded our expectations. Having her paint the mural while the store was open was so much fun - our customers brought their kids to watch her do her thing. She was professional, brought all of her own supplies and cleaned up thoroughly when she was finished. We are happy with the results and happy that our customers come in loving the mural, asking who painted it and asking where they can find their own copy to put on their walls at home. Thank you so much Delaney! We can't wait to work with you again in the future and recommend you to anyone looking for custom design work!"
