Written by hand

We all can see the magical value of a piece of calligraphy or lettering made by hand because it reflects the unique personality of their maker in every angle, pressure and thickness of line. The imperfections, mistakes and slight traces of previous sketching leave in the final handlettering a reminder of the time and work spend in the making. Lettering is also a reminder of predigital signs when each one was a labour of love and originality. Artists like Dana Tanamachi, Margaret Kilgallen, Nate Williams, Luca Barcellona are all unique as handlettering should be.

Tom Berry

I just realized they are so many things I like that are from Bristol: Tricky, Portishead and Massive Attack, Bansky, and Rony Size. Maybe there's something in the water that makes you extremely creative! Tom berry is a young illustrator from this southern city and he got some of this artistic vibe too. Check his website

N.Y. Adorned “Tradition” from Evan Owen Dennis on Vimeo.

Good tattoos tell a story, they go deep beyond the skin into the soul and these videos see that, they make tattoos come alive. The first one is a video by YOANN LEMOINE, film director, photographer and musician under the name of WOODKID. And the second one is a short documentary about N.Y: Adorned, directed by Evan Owen Dennis.

old little treasure!

Johanna Basford...our kind of illustrator

"Tumble down the rabbit hole (and go to visit her website) and find yourself in my (her) inky black and white Wonderland...". Fantastic pattern and other illustrations from this british illustrator. She says she is "on a mission to cover the world with her hand drawn patterns and motifs" and I really hope she achieves it!
