Ink Dancer: Folded Pen Practice
http://theinkdancer.blogspot.com/2010/11/folded-pen-practice.html
Graphic Design Illustration Lettering Arts Calligraphy by Lori Tews. November 7, 2010. I decided to get out my trusty folded brass pens, which I had neglected for too long. Sitting dejected on the shelf, they were begging to be played with, dipped in the watercolors and gouaches of palettes from past projects. It was a fun, playful afternoon!

They enthusiastically said "Yes! And we set a schedule beginning the following week. I liked that they not only displayed student art in the hallways,.

I ended up deviating from the plan - imagine that - me, deviating from a plan? Hard to believe, I know, but I did - and enjoyed every minute of it. (Like usual, too! I still used the random Wikipedia articles for band names and random quotations for the album titles. As I "let the chips fall where they may", some fun combinations grew. May 2, 2011.

Ink Dancer: Could Not Resist
http://theinkdancer.blogspot.com/2011/05/could-not-resist.html
Graphic Design Illustration Lettering Arts Calligraphy by Lori Tews. May 2, 2011. A fun challenge was posted by a friend on Facebook today:. Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together. So here it is - my album cover.

Ink Dancer: I Love Commissions
http://theinkdancer.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-love-commissions.html
Graphic Design Illustration Lettering Arts Calligraphy by Lori Tews. April 28, 2011. Some calligraphers I know will not take on commissions - it scares the bejeebers out of them. While I admit that some requests have induced a certain level of fear in me, it is usually only when I am requested to do something I've never done before - e.g. lettering on a motorcycle (turned out to be an OCC, so good thing I didn't know! Working with Native American pigments on deer hide, lettering on pottery, etc.

Graphic Design Illustration Lettering Arts Calligraphy by Lori Tews. October 25, 2010. I've been trying to get my logo centered on this beast, but it won't cooperate! Time to let it be.and go catch some zzzzzzzs. Night, night. I got out my watercolors and created this card for my sister's birthday. I hadn't done this kind of decoration in a while, but had a blast doing it! Then I got carried away and decided to decorate the inside as well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
