Cortlan @ceedoubleubee.bsky.social · Feb 4
Hi new followers! I’m Cortlan, a hand lettering and modern calligraphy artist based near Louisville KY! Some things I love making: digital & analog lettering quotes that speak to me plus custom chalkboards and windows for clients. Other things I love: ☕️ 🐈‍⬛ ⚽️
Cortlan’s 2023 Typism Selfie - Cortlan is wearing a burgandy henley top, standing in front of the gallery wall in her studio, smiling and up holding Typism Book 9, showing her page that features her lettering design that reads “Roam, travel, ramble, journey”

This “cup of cheer” design is perfect for this holidays, and it’s fun imagining how it might work as a digital flyer or even a seasonal menu for a bourbon bar. Love seeing where one idea can go.

A little time-lapse of a holiday window I painted before Thanksgiving. Windows like this become a photo op, a feature wall, or a way for a business to show off its personality. I’ve got a few of December openings!

Holiday windows are one of my favorite ways to bring a little extra personality and cheer into a business space. I have 1–2 openings this December for custom window or chalkboard murals. Always excited to partner with local shops this season!

A quiet reminder for today: rest and give thanks. Wishing you a peaceful Thanksgiving with space to slow down and breathe.

Starting a week of giving thanks with the hand lettered cards and stickers I add to every order. It’s one of my favorite ways to show appreciation and share a little extra hand lettered love.

Hand lettered cards read "many thanks" fanned out on a countertop and surrounded by a variety of gratitude themed stickers like "thank you" and "many thanks" and "think big, shop small" all in CWB brand colors: shades of blue with a golden yellow accent.

Small gifts, big heart. 

A few simple ways to give something meaningful this season: prints, cards, stickers, or ornaments that carry a little message with them. Thoughtful gifts don’t have to be big to matter.

Running on coffee and doing my best. Pretty much the theme of the season. Looking forward to a little pause next week.
Photo of the artist standing against a neutral background, mostly hidden behind a hand lettered art print that reads “drink coffee and pretend you know what you’re doing.” The print is held up at chest height, covering most of the face and upper body.

A little chalkboard glow-up from the holiday season: simple lettering turned into a whole winter scene at The Tavern. Snowy trees, tiny details, and a lot of chalk dust.
