Handmade Lettering 20

Sir Spend-A-Lot returns once again with a sequel to a previous post (here), made on 2007 Berlin-Copenhagen-Hamburg-Berlin trip. The red-orange text may not be as fluorescent as in reality since the scanner couldn't handle it or optionally I'm not good enough with scanning techniques. Same orange was in the prequel image too. The letterforms seem to be inspired by old signage, "August" may have some german old school grotesk type inspiration. Of course I've actually forgotten whether I had some actual influences here or if I just pulled these out of my head. Original size about 12,5 x 9,5 cm. Made with the usual things except felt-tip pens.

Güüti is going on a vacation this Saturday, off to Japan for three weeks! But don't worry, after that the regular updates will resume normally. There's new stuff to scan and old stuff waiting for upload. And probably Japan will offer plenty of nice visuals to be later seen here too. See you then!
