this is a short story of my latest work.
i intend to develope the entire typeface, based on this script.

what do you think?

Wow! I love this. Who says that all cap blackletter can't look good?

More pictures, please!


Thanks for replacing the link with the jpg.
The site is inaccessible at RongWrongo Island?

strange brew


wow, very cool! What all tools are you using to create work like this?


black ink, paper & cork :-)


ahh i just noticed the cork nibs with ink! Very cool. Do you use cork often for designing or specifically because you are designing a wine label?


it depends on what typeface you want to create . . .
for example - you can't create copperplate with cork nibs:-))) cork nib has far different characteristics from oblique nibs...

another cork project:-)


very cool! I love the gradient in the stroke and the cork lines. I wonder how hard it would be to duplicate a similar effect in illustrator...


never tried on anythig digital:-))))
a few calligraphers around me use tablets and they influenced me to buy one - probably one of the wcaom cintiq family + 6D art pen in addition


ahh i had a tablet... I need another. I just seldom used it to make it worth my while, but then again when i do need it there really is no replacement.

Do you have a website with your work?


not a personal one....

only here
www.behance.net/epixs


very nice! Thanks for showing me that website also, it has a lot of great work on it.


I specially like a lot of this work.. cuz I love so much the calligraphy.
Congratulations by your entire work, I like it a lot too..!!

regards... :)
