Thinking about being an artist in a world with Al created art while warming up today. As craftsmen, we must strive towards perfection; as artists, we must work towards humanity.

It feels like such a new problem, but I'm sure the feelings are similar to those of the scribes during the early years of the printing press. The style of writing that was developed right around that time was literally called "humanist minuscule".

Letter-a-day challenge, day 13. "M" variations are my most polished letters, thanks to writing "Mr. and Mrs...." a b-b-billion times

One of the things I took up during That Year was essentially #PointedPen doodling. Before that I’d never really trusted those pointed nibs, although I did quite a bit of broad-nib #calligraphy.

Anyway, I still sit down and write a random word or phrase or three whenever I need a break. Though I started with a dip nib, I now use a fountain pen — this is an Opus 88 colour demonstrator with a Flexible Nib Factory Zebra G adapter and Dominant Industry Sunset.
