Hand lettering short course at Old School the New School for Design and Typography. Day 1 learning from an ex sign writer, Lionel O'Toole.
Just finished gilding the title wall for this exhibit of ONE painting....gilded lettering is one of my favorite things to do....beautiful real gold leaf, 23 karat.
Taken for the Nikon D40/x/60 Challenge - Lettering. This is my new baby! Well old one actually, it was my Dad's when I was a boy but now passed to me to play with.
This is the brush lettering inside the Oops card.
Used Tombow brush pens for this....still practising, still working on the skill.
After spending my normal work day primarily on a computer, it is nice to step away from staring at a screen in the evenings. Hand lettering is just one of the analog based activities that I have been practicing that still allows me to fulfill my need for creative output.

The building of the University Library Leuven is a Neo-Renaissance design from the American architects Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore. It was built overlooking the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein between 1921 and 1928.
The names of the American Colleges and Universities, whose donations helped rebuilding the old library that had been destroyed in 1914, are carved in different styles of lettering in the sand stone bricks of the building.
