Hot off the press! I just finished this illuminated calligraphy piece yesterday in preparation for making some Christmas cards on my Zazzle shop. This has passages from Isaiah 7 and 9 about Immanuel, the Son of God. I used the Uncial script, which dates to the 3rd century and was developed in the British Isles. The Celtic Knot is Scottish in style. I am pretty happy with how this turned out and plan to make more like it.

This is a practice piece for a script I’m learning called Artificial Uncial, which dates from very early medieval times in the British Isles. A surprisingly difficult script to learn. I have been finding inspiring quotes to practice with and this one seems particularly apt for these times, where outward differences between people seem more and more problematic.

Hi everyone, having a good Saturday I hope? Here is a rough draft of a comic I made a few months ago about a real-life experience I had with my son. Yes, it really happened as so. Kids…at what point do they realize that you can’t speak your mind all the time? For a while, a couple years ago, I did more comics than anything else such as painting or calligraphy. It is refreshing to go back and re-read those to get a chuckle or two.
