One Unbroken Line...
A cartoon my Dad the pinstriper did when he was flirting with my mom back in the 1950s.
All freehand, the 'speedball' pen was dipped in an inkwell & it has a wide & thin edge to it. While rolling the pen in his hand he got the wide and narrow line, just like old Calligraphy!
I took some of these cartoons to Disney when I worked at Imagineering. One of the artists there looked at it, then back up at me, and said "you know, this explains ALOT..."
...er.. uh.. ok...?
"Unos textos llegaron a buscarme anoche.
Yo estaba muy ocupada pero igual les abrí la puerta.
Me esperaron un rato tomando café, mientras terminaba unas letras para publicar.
Pidieron azúcar para endulzar las cosas mas tristes que hay que soportar"

I have not been attending to my Flickr site as I am getting ready for a two-week trip to China. I leave Friday morning. But I hope to have many exciting pictures when I return, even sooner if I learn to operate my apple laptop. This may be my last picture for a few days.
Detail of recent painting... integrating calligraphy with sumi
sort of working for me.

This foot belongs to a man who spent most nights of the week sitting in a crowded place in Mongkok, Hong Kong. This is a sad image - he wrote with his foot because he has no hand.
The words he was writing roughly translates as "Everything will go smoothly".
And one more thing, he wrote better calligraphy with his foot than I did with my hand.
A very formal light italic typeface. Smooth strokes, wide spacing, delicate serifs with somewhat connected letters. This is shown in the original Pelikan Ink Royal Blue colour. Very classic look with perfect applications in natural type products or services. This is part of my designer type collection that will be available commercially in the new year.
Cheers
