Here's a quick preview of a project to come - a study of what I think of as a mural, and some practice for myself in terms of composition, new media, and lettering.
Each lettered tile has an image of a place on the back, transferred from a regular ink-jet printout, and a 'mural' that I would like to paint in that spot.

Hand-lettering and calligraphy are like candy to me - fun, sweet, pretty things that I love to indulge in. A friend of a friend recently commissioned me to write a poem in calligraphy for her son's graduation present.
Since I wasn't sure exactly what she wanted, and I was feeling a little rusty, I did a couple of warm-ups before hitting the final version.
