Lettering is 'the act, art or process of inscribing or writing words on something'. And it is also just awesome. If you create your own or find awesome ones out in the wild, throw them up and let it be ridiculed or revered!

Lettering is ‘the act, art or process of inscribing or writing words on something.’ And it is also just awesome.

The world of Lettering revolves around and includes (but is not limited to) Calligraphy, Handwriting, Hand styles, Typography, and can even extend from Graffiti/Wildstyle/Tagging all the way to Graphic/Layout Design. Just have fun with it. :)

If you create your own or find awesome work out in the wild, throw them up and let it be ridiculed or revered! It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect, but if you’re a copy/type/font/character addict, then let it be known!

Please message the moderators if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas.

Love, for what I learned :

being in love will always come down to this: it is the moments when vulnerability is shared, not as a plea, but as a quiet offering, and the other accepts it, not because they have to, but because they see you, in all your chaos, and still, they choose to stay. it is never loud or perfect- it is silent, and more than often, subtle ; like the weight of a hand held just tightly, yet warmly. it is the way you notice the cracks in someone's smile and don't try to fix them, but rather trace them with your fingertips, tenderly, as if they are part of the map of who they are. or when you can tell the words don't help the situation that engulfs them in, you hold them as tightly as your arms possibly can and gently hope to soak their pain away. and maybe, just maybe, that is the language of love - not about saying the right thing or doing things the right way, but instead about letting go and being present in the quiet moments when the tainted petrichor still lingers in the air. love perhaps is to listen deeply, to feel the weight of their sorrow, and to say "i see you trying" and that's enough without offering anything more than a quiet understanding. at the end of the day, love should make you feel seen and understood ; like you're not standing alone in a storm, battered by winds you can't name. you don't need one to carry you, you just need someone beside you, acknowledging the weight of what you are carrying.

love simply asks for the willingness to be held, with hands that tremble, yet never let go.

This is the memorial name plate of Oliver Cromwell, with a beautiful flowing font. It was found on his lead coffin when he was dis-interred after Charles II was restored to the throne.

It started as a Valentine's card for a friend but I realized quickly I needed to make the whole set.

Letter Cutting in Stone by Richard Grasby

Seems like a great book but likely out of print? I can only find exorbitantly-priced copies online.

Is there a scanned pdf copy available? you can msg me privately, thanks.
