I once found a set of Speedball pen nibs as a kid. I was familiar with conventional pen and ink usage, but had never seen nibs like this before. It wasn’t until taking a calligraphy course in college (with Professor Don Anderson, author of “The Art Of Written Forms”) that I ran across them again and had a chance to try them out. The times have evolved a lot since then and so much of the calligraphic art is becoming lost to digital convenience, but leafing through some vintage
Recently in my attempts to get myself to do art post-graduation I have been working on an Illuminted Letters Alphabet. Originally I was just going to make one 'A' but then I got caught up in it, so now I'm moving on to the whole alphabet. Each letter is inspired by an obscure or unusual word. A was before I really had any idea of a theme. I guess in retrospect A is for Aviary. I then experimented with some color, scanning in old test strips of watercolor samples. Still not quite sure if I like that look or not yet. B is for Bric-a-Brac: Small, usually ornamental objects valued for their antiquity, rarity, originality, or sentimental associations C is for Cornucopia. Then I got bored with D and skipped to H, which is for Horology: the art or science of measuring time Currently in progress is E for Entomology

Gothic was a popular medieval calligraphy. It was also called Blackletter for the dark appearance of a written page. The letters are square in shape, and are written at a 45 degree angle. Click on the photo for a larger image of the Gothic alphabet. Try copying the simpler lowercase letters, then move on to the more elaborate uppercase letters. Make sure to use a 45 degree pen angle. Try writing your name, squeezing the letters close enough together that you could fit just one pen stroke between them. This technique was used by monks copying manuscripts, in order to save parchment.

I recently learned the expression "border trouble", in this case referring not to immigration---nor to illuminated borders, like the one above---but rather to the sometimes-daunting obstacle between the idea for a piece and the point at which it begins to take shape. Since I sometimes struggle mightily to move through that region, it helps me to think of it as just a transition, kind of a bothersome ordeal one has to go through to move into the pleasure on working on the piece once it starts to come to life, not to mention once it is finished. It's school fundraiser season once again and I created this piece to raise some money for a good cause. Artwork doesn't always do well in a silent auction but this was displayed nicely and went for a pretty penny! The border outline came from the fabulous collection of the Graphics Fairy (you really need to go to that site, and bookmark it!); I was able to take a little shortcut and print it onto tracing paper (rather than actually tracing it) and then transferred it to Arches 140 lb hot press with Armenian bole. Because of the nature of the quote, I used more colors than I usually would have in the border. The ink is Pelikan (with some powdered gum arabic added); the rest of the design is gouache, pen, and 23K gold leaf. I used a [left-handed] Brause 1.5mm nib; the image is about 7.5" X 10.5". I used my Logan Compact Mat Cutter (which has come in handy more times than I can count) to cut the mat, then popped it into a frame I picked up at Michael's half-price. Ta-dah!
