    So nice James. I would have been terrified to mess up! You did such a beautiful job on the thin lines in 'Fashioned' especially.

    Thanks Claire! Yeah, I have to admit that I haven't inked in awhile but it was definitely good to get back to using my hands. I always appreciate your kind words and feedback!

    Thanks everyone! Mandy, I never would have thought all that time I spent learning how to ink comics would pay off in my design/type work!

    This is great James, the detail is awesome. It must have took ages to get the detail so fine and not make a mistakes. I know I always get to the point of adding detail with link then messing the whole thing up.

    Thanks Amanda! I love seeing unique ligatures, and wanted to pull of something that flowed with the rest of the type.

    Love the inking! Do you ink over your pencil sketch and erase the pencil lines or re-draw it entirely?
