Kolbjørn Wallpaper: Hand Lettering.
One of my few (possibly only now that I think of it) purely design based pieces. In my Hand Lettering class junior year we had to make a wallpaper layout using the same letter/word/text to create the patterning. The word is Kolbjørn, meaning 'black bear,' and has origins as a boys name in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. I didn't have any particular reason for choosing it other than I thought it was interesting name and it's on the list of potentials if I ever have a son. Or at least a shaggy black dog.
