Here are sketches of some works I've done.
Click on any image for a better view.

Sorry, but some of the scans didn't come out very well.
I will be getting some better pictures in the near future.

A quotation from Emily Brontë done in Blackletter, my favorite hand. Brontë quote
Cocteau quote A great quotation from Jean Cocteau done in three different hands: Uncial, Blackletter, and Italic.
A fantastic poem by one of my favorite authors, Ursula K. Le Guin, done in Blackletter with Uncial capitals. Le Guin poem
Blas quote 1 Blas quote 2 A famous line from Léon Blas, both done in Uncial. The one on the right stays within the lines, while the one on the left bounces.
A very funny short poem by Dorothy Parker. Parker poem
a Gaelic blessing Finally, what calligrapher hasn't done a Gaelic blessing? This one is in Capitalis Rustica, a very old (and very difficult!) hand.
