Completed my illuminated manuscript of Psalm 93 in time for Mother's Day!
I used a modern variation of the Beneventan hand, which was most widely used in southern Italy in the middle ages. The historical script had lots of ligatures, but those are hard for modern readers, so I didn't use any here. This is also the hand where our modern question mark originated.
I'm now officially deprecating Calligraphy (Couldn't do it yet, but should happen in the next few days). I don't consider it worth maintaining anymore.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to it, and to @omglinux for publishing an article on it the day after its release!
Un buen vino, un paseo, una buena conversación, un atardecer, un café con una amiga de toda la vida, tu canción favorita a todo volumen de vuelta a casa.
Esto puede curar casi cualquier herida.
Type and design nerds! I’m considering commissioning¹ a queer² lettering artist or typographer to set a slogan³ – link me to beautiful work!
(Boosts would be awesome, and feel free to recommend yourself!)
¹ I hope to crowdfund their fee
² My definition is incredibly broad; if the artist self-identifies as queer, that’s all I need
³ Probably in a hand-drawn way rather than using fonts, but I’m open; to be used on t-shirts/stickers
