Lovely, all of it!

And Erica: I love that style. Inspired by Mike Kecseg?

Yes! Good eye! I mentioned that on my IG but forgot to post it here. This is one of the first "contemporary" scripts created by Mike Kesceg. He calls them "variations."

I absolutely love his variations. I think he's doing a class at IAMPETH this year. *sighs*

Natascha, if you can find a copy of the Speedball Handbook, there is a lovely exemplar of Mike Kesceg's Pointed Pen variations.  :)

I took a class from Jane Shibata here in LA who learned the script from Mike and uses his method. It was one of those experiences that really clicked for me and made my calligraphy go an extra step.
