Calligraphy



So I've mentioned that I've been into calligraphy lately. Here is a sample of something I've done. I made a title page for my sister's writing portfolio last week (hope you don't object to this, Erin...I'll take it down if you do). It was my first attempt at Gothic script (with slight alterations by me). I was pretty happy with how it turned out. This was the thing I was "graphing" last week at 2:45 am. And now I'm posting about it at nearly the same time. I'm not helping my reputation. Anyway, I'm excited to try out some new fonts. I even bought a calligraphy book. I'm thrilled.

I could stand to make some money on the side and add to another part-time/freelance/random job to my growing list, so if you know of anyone who needs a grapher or calligrapher (there's a slight difference, and I can play both roles well), please consider me. I think this further establishes me as a distinguished artist. I mean there's not much more of a distinguishing activity than calligraphy, is there?

you know you're cool when...

you stay up until 2:45 am doing calligraphy.

There has to be a better phrase than "doing calligraphy." I suppose "practicing the art of calligraphy" would be more suitable. I propose the term "calligraphizing"; it's more efficient and sounds less haughty and more street.
