Kate did her version of Susy Ratto lettering - or at least that is what it looks like to me. I was amazed that I could pull the name Susy Ratto out of the cobwebby parts of my memory. I took a minute to see what she's up to and other than her books, I did not find any references to anything current. If anyone knows what happened to Susy - I'd love to know. Her books were coming out around the time I discovered brush lettering. At the time, I was submitting designs to Better Homes & Gardens so I never tried any of Susy's styles. As much as I love to copy, I needed to come up with things that were different. Now that I am retired, I could delve into Susy's designs - but all my ZIG brush markers are pretty dried up. I wonder where Susy lived/lives. I wonder if Kate ever took a class with her. This style goes very nicely with the skateboards.
