Watercolor and Lettering Love

I hope to start producing more paintings in the near future, perhaps to sell prints. My sketchbook is filling up with ideas! Here's the first of them...

Well, it was a start at least. I tried using acrylics on colored paper, but it kept looking like an 80's neon poster, so I switched to a more familiar medium: watercolors.

Oh, how I love the fluidity and flow of watercolors! Can you tell I love typography, too? The graphic designer in me keeps popping out whenever I paint.
