'Brazil's Letter Openers' is the next free, online BLAG Chat with designers and typography researchers Fátima Finizola and Fernanda Martins: https://bl.ag/brazils-letter-openers-with-fatima-finizola-and-fernanda-martins/

They will share their respective projects documenting and celebrating the work of Brazil's abridores de letras (letter openers, or sign painters).

This will include an exclusive screening of the documentary film, Marajó das Letras.

In 2016 I received an email from someone called Karen in Bristol. She told me that she was caring for an elderly gentleman that painted one of the local #ghostsigns in the 1950s.

You can read the full story at https://bl.ag/cliff, but one thing led to another and we produced a short film about this 96-year-old former #signpainter.

Sadly Cliff died before we had finished editing the final cut, but his was the first in the 'When Better Letters Met...' series.

RIP Cliff.
