Jim's next letters

Jim's alphabet continues!

The flies he assures me....came from the simple idea of 'F for flies' and he just happened to have some lovely wrapping paper he had received from a friend.... who felt that Jim would like the idea of flies rather than flowers...

Jim's last letters!

Jim's May letters

Here are Jim's musing for May....

Jim's April Letters

My letters are still in the graphic design mode and as yet I have not actually attempted a calligraphic letter form.

My left hand bias has me hesitating although it is not the barrier, it is my impatience that is the problem.

And my enthusiasm for the project and the large number of possibilities...

Jim's letters for March

Here are my letters for March. My earlier post explains my thinking...Jim.

Jim's catching up letters...

In an another life I spent 14 yrs working in places like Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide as a graphic designer.
Before Letraset or computers to depict a letter you had to paint or draw it.
I had loved calligraphy at art school, however being left handed my ‘thicks’ were often misplaced.
The short of this is that I love lettering and letter form in general hence my involvement in this worthy project.
Having a reputation for tackling things from the ‘wrong’ perspective I am probably not sticking to the ‘letter’ (pardon the pun) of the law.
All my letters fit into a 7cm X 7cm space.
As I am considering my final presentation I have put them all on bigger squares because I like the space, or simply because the paper already had something on it that worked with my letter.
As a graphic designer I am accustomed to search all relevant possibilities which means I may appear to be jumping all over the place using different ideas and techniques ... and I am.
Moving from collage to watercolour to pen & ink etc..
I am fascinated by the minimal and find the spaces between letters speak volumes and may within the 7 X 7 space, become the letter or part thereof.
