Marisco
I just saw these amazing labels over on The Ministry of Type. I’m not a drinker, but I would buy Marisco just for the calligraphy on the labels. Each name in The King Series is preceded by the words “The Kings” and by it’s neatly crafted name of Bastard, Thorn, Wrath, Favour, and Sticky End. A great story to go with wine, intriguing and smart. After being helicoptered out to the island to photograph and research my client’s... Read More
Hassan Massoudy
Speechless. I’m really left speechless on these works of art created be Hassan Massoudy, a calligrapher. I’ll let a statement from Hassan’s website do it justice: Creations from Hassan Massoudy are a subtle mix of present and past, oriental and occidental art, tradition and modernity. He perpetuates tradition while braking from it. Read More

There is a grit or dirtiness to the work that just draws me in with the traditional Blackletter or Fraktur style (used quite a bit in Germany) with a sense of urgency and care. He is listed to have a workshop/lecture... Read More
Sea Legs
I would have loved to have seen “Sea Legs” A Collaborative Journey of Jolby & Ashley Forrette, but it ended on March 20 and was in Portland, Oregon. So the odds were against me anyway. But the images, the artwork, the lettering … sigh … so wonderful. SO much more to see on the website, take a gander. Read More

The Art of Hand Lettering
I just discovered this lovely blog of Alan Ariall’s hand lettering. The Art of Hand Lettering shows the process of hand-lettering from sketches to completion. I love how he includes the sketches, the inked drawings, and the final pieces. It’s not magic folks, it’s hard work. Read More
