It was the early 2000's, and the digital realm beckoned designers with it's steely-blue glow. Arley, however, was more drawn to the smell of pencil lead and ink, opting for the warmth of a naked overhead lightbulb illuminating his sheet of paper than the eye-zapping pixels from a computer screen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over 20 years experience as a letterer, Arley is best known as the humorist and illustrator behind the award-winning stationery brand Ladyfingers Letterpress. From creating viral greeting cards and wedding invitations to designing custom hand-lettered fonts for brands like Little Caesars and Maker's Mark, Arley has taught hand-lettering from Reykjavik, Iceland to the Google Headquarters in New York and more! He's served as a juror for lettering competitions held by the Type Directors Club, the Art Directors Club and Paper Magazine! He's been the keynote speaker for the Greeting Card Association annual conference! He's performed at the MoMA PS1 with the Dirt Palace without any pants on! He tried rollerblading again at 40 without breaking anything! And he (mostly!) remembers to return things within the recommended window of time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite having accomplished the feat of raising three small kids through a pandemic while his wife ran the family business, he considers his lifetime achievement to be his Poop Font that can be viewed in the Ladyfingers bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRegistration is non-refundable or exchangeable.
