GRR Martin - The Rains of Castamere
Diamine Aurora Borealis in Pilot Parallel fountain pen

Did this on stream tonight! It was good to go live again, it's been far too long. I need to get back into the habit of it... planning on trying to do every Monday at least now!

The lyrics to 'The Rains of Castamere', from A Song of Ice & Fire, hand-lettered in a blackletter/gothic style. A wax seal of a howling wolf is affixed. 'And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, and not a soul to hear'

I got an email from a film shop about the #Pentax17 and got interested in checking out a review of it. Loaded up PetaPixel video with Chris Niccolls review of the cam, and saw him sporting a tee for which I did the #calligraphy for haha.

Maybe it's a sign...

A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson
Diamine Imperial Purple and Aurora Borealis in Pilot Parallel fountain pen, on mixed media paper

This was one of the quotes of the week on a calligraphy Discord server I'm on, and I felt like joining in!
I still love how the Parallel can blend inks...

It's been a minute (several) since I broke out the dip pens and did any pointed pen #Calligraphy. My flourishing is still just as meh as the last time I worked on it, but overall happy with the gift tags.

A pointed pen (hunt extra fine 512 in standard speedball nib holder) sitting in a mess of gift tag string with gift tags that say "Drink me" and "Eat me" in a passable, Spencerian-adjacent cursive. A bottle of ink sits near the top left of the image labeled "Scribes' Ink 1540 Iron Gall Ink"

good morning Americans

if you wish to engrave something upon your heart, first inscribe it with your hands and profess it with your voice.

#calligraphy #handwriting #fourthofjuly #july4th

(long text warning) Two sheets of cursive brush calligraphy in metallic ink reading: What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, AT THIS VERY HOUR. Frederick Douglass 1852

Gary Moore/Nightwish - Over the Hills and Far Away
De Atramentis Document Black in Pilot Parallel fountain pen on Rhodia Touch paper

This started as an experiment in seeing how well the Parallels would play with pigment inks - I'm pretty happy with the results!

#fountainpen #garymoore #nightwish #calligraphy
The lyrics of Gary Moore's 'Over the Hills and Far Away', hand-lettered in a LOTR-inspired style in black ink. A black wax seal of a howling wolf is affixed. 'They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away For ten long years, he'll count the days Over the mountains and the seas A prisoner's life for him there'll be'

If you are unable to see #Kalligraphia2025 in person at the Main SFPL this summer, here is the full piece that I put into the show.

I’ve picked up the hobby of watching birds in the tree outside my window when I feel overwhelmed. “Hope is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson—written during the Civil War—has felt very poignant lately. There’s always the hope of the carefree bird hopping from branch to branch.

Medium: Indigo ink stick, Pointed pen, Natural hair brushes, Watercolor, Wax pencil, 140lb. Hot press Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper

龍 (ryū) "dragon"

If you visit a shrine or temple in Japan, make sure to look up at the ceiling of the main room.

Often there will be a painting of a dragon.

One reason is that dragons represent the virtue of courage.

Another, more superstitious reason is that dragons are associated with the element of water, and so are a protection against fire. This is very important in a country where wood is the main building material.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the dragon is clutching a ball in one of its feet. Much like their European counterparts, Japanese dragons like to collect precious objects. These balls are the "Dragon Ball" of the eponymous comic book - the ball-shaped jewels that grant the owner wishes. Buddhists speak of the "jewel within the lotus" - a boundless compassion. It is cryptically described as "the jewel that grants all desires", and represented pictorially as a precious jewel - the Dragon Ball. The above artwork is available on my Etsy shop here.
