#pencalligraphy This is a page I did with broad-edge pen and pointed pen. I added some gold and that small inscription at the bottom and mailed it off.

Changing gears: must illuminate that large document I posted a few days ago. I’m going to have accomplish a few mini tasks to boost the endorphins, (or is it dopamine?) to get through all of this slow work I’m doing. #nothingquickaboutthis #byhand #painting🎨 #calligraphyart

another #fbf to 1985. I did this for the 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated: Donald E. Knuth. What you would never guess by looking at the book was that it was done as an original (not a paste-up) on JB Green handmade paper. Black, ground sumi ink with gouache. This type of page is a formidable challenge at any age.

I’ll make a concerted effort to put something in this note book everyday by carrying it with me. #lifewithafountainpen

Brush Lettering I did as an original on Arches Text paper for a poster. It was an honor to work with @design_is_play on this worthy project. Thank you Angie & Mark. I have pasted their post below: —————————————- design_is_playAngie’s contribution to Mirko Ilić’s “Tolerance” traveling poster exhibition, an international response by designers to the idea of social tolerance. Angie worked with noted calligraphile John Stevens to typographically interpret a quote from one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s sermons.

Sometimes, writing in my #Moleskin notebook…sometime, just loose paper.

This is a class exemplar I did using the Pilot Parallel pen (green). Try using Uncial as capitals to Blackletter minuscules. It works nicely.
