A New Year Cometh

12:01 AM

How exciting ... a New Year! For many people, 2009 could have been better, much better. Me? Well, there were ups and downs just like everyone else, so I am excited to move on and get started with 2010 ... to live and experience life like never before. I hope that your coming year proves to be the best ever and I offer all good wishes for prosperity, health, much love and joy....

What do you get a guy who is almost 15? I dunno. Well, at least I didn't know at first thought. When I discovered that his travel cup was on the last leg of its journey, that's when the idea struck. You can see here how I solved the Christmas present connundrum!

Merry Christmas!

It is exciting for me to tell you that I have been selected to offer my calligraphy and products at Felt & Wire, a curated shop. Stop by and take a look when you have a minute or two. My passion is custom lettering and design so if you have an idea brewing, for a personal monogram or stationery for example, please don't hesitate to contact me to see what we can accomplish together. I am looking forward to my new venture as a shopkeeper!

Love and Kisses

4:25 PM Calligraphy, copperplate, flourished, flourishes, flourishing, menu, signs, wedding

When I was asked to make some signs for Elizabeth Messina's A Lovely Workshop this past year I was quite delighted to say the least. Ever gracious, she sent me some of the photographs she took of my work. I will share a few images today, and will post some more as time goes on.

Pirates

1:08 PM Calligraphy, hand lettering, letter of marque, movie prop, script lettering

This past weekend I was going through an old hard drive and found the original scans of my lettering for Pirates of the Carribben II. I wrote in walnut ink on Arches Textwove with a pointed pen. The scan is kind of funky but I hope you'll like looking at it anyway!

Joy!

6:06 PM brush lettering, Calligraphy, canvas

It's not easy to feel joyful with a sore throat and fever, but because I am a bit under the weather today I gave in to some time for play. On this little 2.5" x 3.5" canvas I daubed and painted and brush lettered (even though it's not my strongest lettering skill) but now that it's done, I made a little Joy after all!
