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!

Valentine's Day is very soon so I use the opportunity to publish a suitable headline. This one is from work where we were planning some campaign materials for the occasion. The larger letters are a bit hairy, but I assure you it's due to the paper quality, no hidden meanings should be connected to that look. Made with the usual tools, see previous posts for details. Original size about 6 x 5,5 cm.

Enjoy the day in question!

Well, I'm in a flu at home but managed to remember the update still. This is from late-ish autumn when it wasn't yet freezing and we were planning a small local sightseeing trip to Sipoo (a county next to Helsinki). The drawing was on the paper in the same angle so I left it the same way here also. Original size about 9,5 x 7 cm, made with the usual tripet of ball-point-, gel- and felt tip pens.
