I graduated from Ringling some years ago and majored in illustration. I did not take any calligraphy courses there though, as I wasn’t interested in it then. They have a pretty good graphic design department.

060613 ♥ 5My new zanerian holder. I like how balanced it is. This is fitted to a Nikko G.
Oooh! Can I ask: where did you get an oblique holder? Is it online? I can’t find anywhere that sells them in my home city, so I hope you can help!
Also, that is some lovely spencerian there!
Yes, you can find it online here.
That is where I bought it. You can also find more oblique holders at Paperinkarts.
Please feel free to ask me anything as well.

112912 ♥ 2Sorry for the hiatus on tumblr.. but I promise I’m back with more updates and things. Usually I update my facebook a lot more but now I am going to just post random sketches and things on here as well.

073012 ♥ 12Yes, I find it very exciting! It also helps improve handwriting and (I think) patience. Just keep writing a lot and eventually your handwriting will improve. Don’t try to change it though.. just let your hand move naturally and it will be beautiful.
