trends

 there is a trend in calligraphy - naive, non-traditional. i would like to meet some of these people and see what they think of the truly amazing stuff. the M in Mr looks like she was looking at Bernard Maisner's work.

and this reminds me very much of the kind of lettering that first caught my eye when i was in high school and made me pick up a pen and ink.

i'm happy that i had the opportunity to study the more traditional hands.... but, i have not had time to really practice enough to be *amazing*  -
close, but no cigar.
