Handmade Lettering 25

This is the 25th handmade lettering -posting to the blog, tadaa! So the image this time is one I'm quite happy about (and have been saving a bit actually). It's from my Feb 2006 Berlin trip and inspired by a visit to the Filmmuseum in Potsdamer Platz and the nice Metropolis film posters there. If I remember correctly this one took some time so I was already back in Helsinki when I finished this. Or maybe I started this after the trip. Well who knows. The original size is about 14 x 13 cm. Made with ball-point pens.

So then, I managed to miss two postings in a row. Oh well, at least I managed to use the previous wednesday for useful purpose: moving to a new flat. Still in the same neighbourhood, very nice 7th floor views (sort of 7th even though it says 6th on the wall) and much more light.

On to the posting then! This was made after the Japan trip so quite recently. I have heard of some other work places use Microsoft Excel too, so the main word here might be familiar for some readers. We probably were looking at some plans from an excel file so the word comes from there. The Someone is left anonymous on purpose. The color scheme is green-blueish for a change, many recent ones have had red-black so I figured some variety couldn't hurt. Made with same ol' same ol'. Original size about 6 x 4,5 cm.

This week's post is late again, this time I can't even use the same excuse as last time. I'll think of a good excuse and post it later. This scan is from a Berlin trip 2006 (first one of that year). The drawing was too close to the wire binding so I couldn't make a symmetric border all the way around the text. The wire binding holes are visible in the left in case you didn't believe me. Original was quite small so the look may be more rough as some other works. This continues the black-red color theme from the previous post. Made with ball-point pens only. Original size about 4 x 4 cm.
