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.

Güüti ist zurück! The Japan trip went very nicely, though there wasn't too much extra time and/or energy to draw lots of nice headlines. Some were done anyway, probably they will be seen in the blog in the future. Lots of nice new pens and stuff now though.

The actual post is an older one this time but keeps within the classic theme of "Paltsu". Might even be two years old or more. This was done on a separate sheet of paper without any other text so the actual date may never be determined. What an exciting mystery! Anyway, I like the different-from-usual limited color palette, should do this kind of thing more. Done with felt-tip, ball-point and gel pens as always. Original size about 10,5 x 7,5 cm.
