The art of Lettering
I often present handlettering projects here, such as Andy Luce work (who participate to the Letterpress calendar) or Kevin Cantrell. Jessica Hische is the best exemple of mastering this art of drawing letters, and she did this poster that explain what is the difference bewteen type, typography, font, lettering and calligraphy !
As she explains, Lettering is "Drawn rather than written, it's essentially an illustration of words or letters". Here come some Lettering artists and projects.

Lawrence of Arabia for Cycle world magazine
Late last year I was contacted by cycle World magazine to illustrate an article about Lawrence of Arabia’s last home. Here comes the result...
1800's tales & wood letters
I have these beautiful pages for some months and I finally decided to sell them... what I like is to find things, I can not keep everything ! These are original vintage page of "Fables d'Esope", a collection of tales, and as it states "Dedicated to Bonaparte" on the first page so I guess it is dated from early 1800's. I found these in a second hand market, and the quality of the print is amazing, as well as the drawings. Perfect to be framed.
I have put 6 for sale in the found section of the shop, only one of each available of course. And they are 20% off as winter sale offer is still running...
Yeaterday, I put some more wood letters in the wood section of the shop ! These have black front... They are available here.
I also have the full wood ones !
Thanks for support !
