Another page from my old journals, where I experiment with lettering. Emphasis here was on strict verticals, but to make all horizontals as fluid and swirly as possible. Done with the usual black ballpoint.
I think this is from 2008, after getting back from Colombia. I especially like the short entry at the bottom from when I’m sick—you can feel the sickness in the letters! Seems my best work always comes from extremes of emotion: either elated as in the previous example, or feeling down as is the case here.
