Title: Hello All Wanted To Show off a Letter I received
Post by: Brad franklin on April 12, 2014, 11:48:55 PM

I received a letter from my favorite calligrapher Master Scribe Paul Antonio from London and wanted to show it off. I am really proud of it and put it in a crappy frame (sorry) in my work area for inspiration!

Very nice!  It is interesting that he uses a formal copperplate on the envelope and a casual modern version for the letter!

I think he is so talented and I admire him because he is so humble. He Started following little old me on Instagram a few weeks ago. And I flipped out in excitement because although he has a few hundred followers he only follows (last time I checked) just over 30 people.

Thats cool nickkih,
He is my favorite. Also I will note that anytime I ask him a question he has answered me EVERY TIME.
i have reached out to other well known scribes and get nothing in return. Maybe one day I can get to London and meet him in person.

Brad - exactly one of the reasons I admire him so much. It would be such an honor to meet him one day. He does workshops from time to time - my ultimate bucket list item would be to attend one of his workshops in London a place I've always wanted to go. Have you seen any of the drawings on Instagram?  AMAZING TALENT ALL THE WAY AROUND.
