A notebook open on a table showing a double page spread. On the notebook page is the letter Y written in a copperplate calligraphy style horizontally and vertically across the page in shades of pink and red ink. The letters are written in such a way that they overlap each other.
Sun is out so the bright colours are out.
Guess who studied design for 6 years and only just realised I'm never happy with the colour in my artwork because I've been working in cmyk not rgb.
A hobonichi weeks planner open to a weekly spread. On the page is text from Carl Sagans Pale Blue Dot written in a very condensed monoline calligraphy style with red ink which covers almost all of both pages.
Monoline calligraphy in my daily practice hobonichi weeks.
Three notebooks resting on a white counter top. The pages are open showing handwriting in each notebook. A small notebook sits on top of the larger notebook, a gold clip is holding the pages open. A mango coloured fountain pen is to the right of the notebooks.

I’m using an a5 md paper notebook as a combined commonplace/ sketchbook and an a6 md notebook as a bullet journal.
Also testing out the new Flashes app. Hi!
My kingdom for a paint marker that still works if I haven't used it for a few months.
Just downloaded all of my instagram data and I'm so temped to go repost everything on my Tumblr.
Archivists, historians, scribes: your time is now. Yours is among the most urgent work needed.
Okay I take back everything bad I've ever said about Notion cause they (finally) added a proper calendar 🎉
It is -3 outside and my hands are refusing to work because its so cold 🙃
Anyone remember when your favourite show getting cancelled was a once in a decade event and now its just a Tuesday.
Leeward ❤️

Okay turns out my new fountain pen is actually super easy to clean so now I need to decide which ink I want to use. My fav mango ink or one of my new ferris wheel press inks.
Put a new ink in my fountain pen and instantly regretted it so now I have to wait another 3 days to clean it out and put a different ink in before using it.
One problem with living in Scotland at this time of year is I want to film a video but I only have a 2 hour window where the light is actually good enough to film it.
I mean.... its literally just sitting on my desk.
My sister asked for the new Brandon Sanderson book for Christmas so of course I bought it. However, would it be unethical to read it first?
yessssssssssss
RTD absolutely did the right thing bringing David Tennant back because I haven't watched doctor who since Matt Smith left but you bet I'm watching it today.
I expected the vegas gp to be a shitshow but I didn't expect it to be this much of a shitshow.
I don't know how much longer streamers can continue with the please pay for our service but also we just cancelled your fav show routine.
Made 3 sales in the last day which is great but has also made me realise I'm really not prepared for Christmas.
So apparently you can use Photoshop brushes in Adobe Fresco but Adobe didn't actually check if it worked and now Fresco crashes every time I try to use it.
Carlando defending against the Mercedes we love to see it.
Bought a Lego set I was excited about. Made the mistake of looking at reviews for it online and they're all this is terrible why would anyone buy this.
Yeah I could! Just don't want to 😂
Physically forcing myself not to get into type design just so I can have a font which has the exact ligatures I want to use.
The worst thing about doing calligraphy and then going back to InDesign is having to get used to limited font families. What do you mean I can't just draw the letter and put it exactly where I want it.
