Hi First name / friend!
It’s Thanksgiving week here in the US and I’m back stateside to spend some time with family. Over the next couple of weeks, I’m going to tie our #CreateWithCatCoq challenges in with the holiday season in case you’re planning to sell or gift your artwork over the next month or so!
#CreateWithCatCoq - Holiday Hand Lettering
This week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is to create a hand-lettered illustration inspired by the holiday season. Here are a few ideas to inspire your lettering:
  • Hand-letter something you’re grateful for in honor of Thanksgiving
  • Work on a hand-lettered greeting card to send to your family and friends
  • Hand-letter your favorite holiday song lyrics (looking at you, Mariah Carey fans!)
 
Share your holiday hand-lettering on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can comment, like, and share your work! 
 
Hand Lettering in Procreate
Want to brush up on your hand lettering skills in Procreate? Check out my class, Procreate for Beginners! You’ll not only learn new hand-lettering skills, but you’ll also learn to master the ins and outs of Procreate through hands-on projects. 
Brush Lettering & Calligraphy
Not a Procreate user? No problem! I have a whole class dedicated to learning brush lettering and calligraphy. You can enroll in the Modern Brush Lettering & Calligraphy class here. 
 
New Class Enrollment Option
I’m excited to announce that I’m rolling out a new option for enrolling in my classes. You can now also purchase individual classes from me directly! I wanted to open this up to give you all an “a la carte” option. This means that once you’ve purchased an individual class, you’ll have lifetime access to it and can reference the material any time you need.
 
I have five classes available for individual purchase on my website right now with more coming soon!
 
If you’re a Skillshare member, you’ll still be able to access my entire library of classes through Skillshare just as before. Nothing’s changing there! 🤗
 
Here are the classes available for individual purchase so far:

Holiday Gift Guide
Get your holiday shopping done early while scoring some sweet deals! Before we dive into this week’s featured product, I wanted to share that from now until November 30th… Everything is up to 50% off in my Society6 shop! 
This week’s holiday gift guide feature is my classic Persian Mosaic design. The mint and gold palette has been my laptop sleeve for years. This is one of my favorite patterns because it’s so versatile and looks fabulous on all kinds of products.I, of course, recommend the laptop sleeve and phone case since I’ve used these personally for a long time. They’re not only pretty, but they do a great job of protecting my tech!
I can’t wait to see your holiday hand lettering this week! Don’t forget to share your illustrations with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can cheer you on!
