Day 1 😊 of 30! #walking #challenge #charity #support #uk

Many cancer charities organise walking challenges in June, and I decided to set myself one too — walking 10,000 steps a day and raising funds for Salivary Gland Cancer UK. I chose this charity because a good friend of mine survived this cancer and is now one of its trustees. Any support appreciated!

No trip without lovely lettering hunt Framlingham Castle

Conquered the Framlingham Castle in less than 5 hours! #Suffolk

Today... Oh, it was too good 😊

Took my 6 and 16 yo kids to Cyanotype workshop today, and everyone enjoyed it a lot. Led by Su Morris at the new creative space in Dry Drayton near Cambridge #cambridgeuk #solcreativefoundry #artclass

I was only partially lucky as I found the church, and could get to the entrance staircase of St Stephen's Walbrook, but... no further — it was closed. And I continued my walk towards the Carpenters Hall for Robbie Schneider's lecture, which was certainly wonderful. #lettering #london #archtecture

and in the front garden

Rose-rose-rose

Can't believe I managed to grow a rose 5 metres high. In full bloom today. "Generous Gardener" rose, David Austin

Thank god for I can open the door and get to my garden in just one step, I can sip mint tea and stare at the plants on my piece of Earth

I thought that yellow was for underpainting, but what if it's already enough? hm...

Never tried this method of new nib preparation before 🥹 Potato Method Insert the nib into a potato. The starch will dissolve the lacquer. Leave it in for a few minutes before removing and cleaning. scribblers.co.uk/blogs/news/h...

Carving complete, rubbed down, currently drying out, photography hopefully tomorrow.

That wasn't the end of story, though 😆 The paid GPT (instead of a paid designer) made a poster with a picture of 2 happy kids with 3 hands. The humans haven't noticed this fact and paid for printing those posters. In machinery we trust 😅

Oh those wagging tails :)

And even a bit more. From Art Garden in Cambridge. Penny Heath's garden.

Kinetic sculpture, probably by Andrew Jones, in Penny Heath's garden. That's my favourite piece for today, I think

Rachel Butler's lettering piece. And some lettering people, met unexpectedly but quite predictably, at the Art Garden in Cambridge.

Loaded letters: medieval scripts as social signifiers — next lecture at Letter Exchange! I'm going to watch it online, but if you can attend in person, that's even better as you can enjoy drinks and a chat with the lecturer, #calligraphers and #lettering artists after the #lecture 👌 #medieval

In his natural size and scale. Self-portrait.

Now I'm officially dangerous, as I've got all possible tools for letter design and creation.

All sorts of codes up in this print, y'all! Each letter of LOREM IPSUM is composed of the binary translation for the related ASCII/Unicode symbol. The space between the words is coded, too. I'm a big dork. Whee! #DHmakes #ACH26 #letterpress #printmaking

It is, actually, such a joy for me whenever possible to share the beauty of letterforms — my article has arrived to Vienna today, overcoming a customs issue, and made one “homo scribens” happy. This matters a lot to me.

Creativity and independent thinking are the main enemies of governments, that's the simple reason why they invest in AI.

Two books now... but still no pictures of alphabetic tiles that I need... #heritage #medieval #history

That was 46+16, for two birthday girls.

Here's a little puzzle, though 😀 Please help solving

Christopher Haanes for David Attenborough's birthday

Robbie Schneider's talk on Thursday 28th May in London #lettercarving #london #typography

Happy birthday Sir David Attenborough! When we got married in 2016 three friends of ours ditched part of our day to attend a talk he was giving. As a result we have a wedding card signed by him! #sirdavidattenborough

Some historical stuff — my first lettering commission, a signboard for interior of a beer pub, I'm approximately 19 here, in my third year at university. #lettering

The book has arrived ☀️ One of my own rabbit holes — English Medieval tiles #design #craft #history #England #heritage #tiles

Mum, Dad, I'm ill. I have perfectionism.

#touchtheletters Ely, UK

I designed a logo for someone I wanted to support, for free. Chat GPT, the paid version, designed a leaflet for them, distorting the logo in multiple ways, and now they ask what kind of prompt we should send in order to make the logo nice again. I've got a feeling that something's wrong here 😅

Patience, only patience #handwriting
