Lately I’ve been thinking about starting my own hand lettering project, so it was lovely to see someone I admire inspired to starting his own this year.
Do Not Open is a personal project by letterer and designer Erik Marinovich. Over the years Erik responded to gifts he received in the mail by returning a hand lettered reply in the shape of an oversized hand addressed envelope. Some of his friends appreciated them so much, they hung the tattered envelopes on their walls, inspiring Erik to start this project.
Like your own one of a kind hand-lettered envelope from Erik? Just submit your address and for a fee, one of Erik’s beautiful envelopes will be mailed to you.
Find out more about this inspiring project here, follow the project via his instagram here, and also see more of Erik’s handy work via his portfolio here.
P.S International orders are welcomed, but be quick as this series is limited to only 250 envelopes.

I’ve been thinking of doing one too Mon… I think it would be a great way to learn some new skills. I just have to work up the courage!
Excellent idea. Can’t wait to receive one of yours in the mail……
