Here are sketches of some works I've done.
Click on any image for a better view.
Sorry, but some of the scans didn't come out very well.
I will be getting some better pictures in the near future.
A quotation from Emily Brontë done in Blackletter, my favorite hand. |

|
A great quotation from Jean Cocteau done in three different hands: Uncial, Blackletter, and Italic. |
A fantastic poem by one of my favorite authors, Ursula K. Le Guin, done in Blackletter with Uncial capitals. |
|
|
A famous line from Léon Blas, both done in Uncial. The one on the right stays within the lines, while the one on the left bounces. |
A very funny short poem by Dorothy Parker. |
|
|
Finally, what calligrapher hasn't done a Gaelic blessing? This one is in Capitalis Rustica, a very old (and very difficult!) hand. |
