Handmade Lettering 22


Oh dear, this week's entry is late! I should blame something for this. Maybe I didn't transfer my workfiles to my new laptop yet? Sounds beliavable. Anyway, on to the image: I may have mentioned that I sometimes I just pick up semi-random words from conversations and draw those. This time I picked "Thing" which reminded me of the horror film by John Carpenter (IMDB) and the 50's movie it was based on (IMDB again). So the word has traces from old poster lettering (in my mind at least, I didn't bother to check the actual posters for the films mentioned). Made with a red ball-point pen and a drying black felt-tip pen. Original size was quite small, about 4 x 3 cm.
