B2982. John Stevens SCRIBE: Calligraphy, Design, Lettering Art
B2982. John Stevens SCRIBE: Calligraphy, Design, Lettering Art. Approx. 240pp. 8.5"x11". Hardcover $49.95
UPDATE, 10/11: I have now received around 240 pages from John Stevens and he is now working with his editor. The book was originally advertised as only 160 pages, but now will be over 200 pages - which is one reason the book is taking much longer than planned. There is still considerable work to be done before the book goes to the printer, so copies will not be printed before sometime in 2012.
Place your order now and save. Your card will not be charged until shortly before the book ships. Online orders: Your card will not be charged for the book when you hit submit. If you want to pay by check, reserve a copy by emailing info@johnnealbooks.
A profusely illustrated, full-color retrospective of John Stevens' work with letterforms. Includes calligraphy and lettering -- artworks, personal work, experimental work, commissioned work -- as well as graphic work and type design. His body of work spans paper to stone, books to walls, to type and the digital realm.
In the text, John presents his approach to a design or work and his thoughts on letterforms, and continues with a discussion on tools, teaching, design and writing in general. Using his body of work as example, he makes the case that barriers between fine arts and graphic arts are mostly irrelevant.

I70. Moon Palace Sumi Ink
Moon Palace Sumi
The Ink is now in a bottle with a Gold Label
While the packaging is a bit different , this is the highly sought after and highly recommended Japanese Sumi Ink. For both broad edge and pointed pen work. Dries waterproof. A great calligraphy ink.
"I like Moon Palace better, but both Moon Palace and Best Bottle are beautiful inks. The Moon Palace has a slight sheen to it, which I like. Michael suggested this ink to me so please tell him I said "thank you". I just finished a job of 200 invitations with Moon Palace and the ink is beautiful. I did not dilute the ink.
A client just brought me invitations (slick paper) to address. This bride knew going in to this that I probably couldn't do pointed pen. However, for fun, I tried the Sumi inks and to my surprise they worked pretty darn good. I usually have to use a sharpie on slick envelopes, yikes!!!"
