Typography

I love typography....actually, I enjoy the study of
words...where they originated. It all fascinates me to see the
many ways languages are written as well as through the ages how
words were taken down. Some written languages are (to me) more
beautiful than others. For example some of the middle eastern
languages and Asian - Japanese and Chinese characters.
I am especially enamored by the beautiful old decorative
script...for instance in the very old bibles. I was able to go
see portions of the St. Johns bible that was on exhibit here a
couple years back...just beautiful!!
Thus, I decided to try my hand at typography...and in the style
(well, my version :)) of old script. I used pen & ink first to
create the entire alphabet and then some of the detail was done
digitally...
