Open Flourish | General Discussion / The Tripod Penhold
« on: November 01, 2024, 07:24:24 AM »
This is the tried and tested Tripod Penhold (two fingers and thumb)
The shaft of the pen rests on the large knuckle of the foreffinger.
IMHO This penhold is suitable for all styles of writing and can be used effectively with both oblique and normal pens.

Open Flourish | General Discussion / AI & Calligraphy
« on: October 25, 2024, 07:29:04 AM »
Over the past few years I'v posted a great deal of my handwritten examples  on www.instagram.com/kenfrasercalligrapher
Recently two of my postings have been answered by a message from Instagram stating that if I've used Ai I  should declare it.
This leaves me with very mixed emotions. Firstly, it is obviously a compliment if my writing is considered good enough to have
been faked by artificial means. Secondly, it is depressing to think that many years of study and practice can be successfully
mimiced. Surely, this can't be progress.  :(

Show & Tell / Serendipity
« on: October 21, 2024, 06:57:37 AM »
When I decided to write out my signature in Madarasz Script, I had no idea that he was insadvertently going to help me to get it right!
I realised that my name Fraser and Madarasz have the same three letters in the right order r a and s. This not only confirmed the correct form of the flourished letters, but the accurate kerning gave me the basis for the rest of the word.
Isn't serendipity a wonderful thing!
