One of side effects of covid season has been having the time to take on projects I might have had to turn down in past years. This piece was for a lovely couple who wanted to recreate a gift they received on the occasion of their wedding to give to their daughter on the occasion of her wedding. We tweaked the crest a bit (swipe to see a side-by-side with the original). Aside from that they wanted to reproduce the existing document as closely as possible, so I matched the size, script and line spacing as closely as I could. Mimicking another calligrapher’s italic was an interesting (and fun) challenge. I think the hardest part was having to totally break away from the pointed pen muscle memory that I can usually let come through a bit when I’m just doing my own basic italic. I think one of my goals is to get really comfortable with broad edge nibs again, and totally separate out the different types of movement in my head/hand. Doing the bit of painting for the crest was also a really nice flashback. It felt good to have a brush in my hand again 😊

I used gouache for everything except the line work in the crest, which was done with platinum carbon black ink using a 3776 pen with a uef nib (huge thanks to Gordon (@pen.swordsman) for the uef, it’s perfect for things like this where I don’t want any line variation 🙏

My in-laws fled the horrific wildfire in Paradise, California Thursday morning. We’re so grateful they’re safe. Last night we got confirmation and saw photos of their home burned to the ground. This is how I feel. . . .

#inktober2018 Day 28: GIFT . . Tra poco arriva Halloween ma qui in Sicilia è sempre stata la “festa dei morti”. Sì, perché da noi era veramente una festa, non era una semplice commemorazione. Mia madre mi racconta che per i bambini siciliani una volta era una ricorrenza anche migliore del Natale perché i veri regali si ricevevano dai morti. Non c’era mica Babbo Natale. Gli americani si fanno belli con la notte delle streghe ma noi avevamo i morti che portavano i regali! Ma ve la immaginate un’orda di zombie che scorrazza libera lasciando doni ai bambini? Altro halloween. Terrore gratuito, “arrialatu”. Stephen King se le sogna ste robe. #siculigrafia #calligrafia #calligraphy #italiccalligraphy #parallelpen #inktober #gift @inktober #igerssicilia (presso Campobello di Licata) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfnK_rAv6z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19bkhuvv1sgn7
