Calligraphy - Blog Posts
I finally got a real gothic calligraphy pen! It's already so much better than my old pencil-and-sharpie method.
(In the first picture, I swapped from black ink to red for a gradient effect.)
Out of context D&D calligraphy! I got stuck at work with only a marker and a ballpoint pen, so I had to improvise a bit.
A quick calligraphy doodle for my new D&D character: rootin’ tootin’, crossbow-shootin’, traveling occultist Equia Collins!
It's done!
My newest project! I’m making myself a patch to commemorate the time a total stranger said I had "Ren Faire Energy".

D&D class calligraphy doodles! I’m thinking about polishing these up sometime and making a complete set. Maybe I’ll turn them into stickers!
One of the freshmen in the class I’m TAing asked me how I “stay so fun all the time". It was so sweet, I just had to do something with it.
My friend lent me some 'magic markers' and I used them to make this!
The markers included a colorless marker that made the other inks change color and a little marker airbrush thing that you just had to blow into to make it work.
In a recent D&D session, a player decided to steal an archmage’s tea and chug it. He had a very... interesting experience.
Did you know that the Latin word "amaris" means 'you are loved'?
Some other forms you can use are:
Amor: I am loved
Amamur: we are loved
Amamini: you all are loved
I learned how to do calligraphy with markers! Here's one of my favorite quotes from @damesanddragons
I took a calligraphy class! Still not great at these but I'm having so much fun with my subtle adventure zone quotes.

calligraphy, calligraphy, and style
Ever wondered why some papers are so delightful to read? Well, there are many types of writing formats. Textbook style, MLA, APA, etc. The other type is calligraphy or painting. Style is the first impression that imprints in a reader’s mind, regardless of your content. It’s what lights the page and draws readers—it’s what earns their delight, and their tears, and their smiles, and their enlightenment (hopefully). I am not an expert writer, but I believe good style depends on simplicity. Furthermore, writing is not about having sentences filled with thesaurus. You must make simple sentences seem more interesting. Simple things - like “Impeccable sketching” instead of “Nice drawing” - will make a long lasting impression. I believe, writing verbs should be used often than adjectives. Reducing alliteration and improving word choices always trumps your phrases. I have always wondered why some writings are more vibrant than others. For instance, Apple is the only operating system - as far as I know - with the most vivid combinations of fonts (calligraphy). Every text Apple writes is visually appealing. I had a sense of revelation when I realized how varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, and varying the intensities within the letter ultimately made a huge difference.
In context to grammar, I care about how it contributes to the structure, the flow, the tone, the meaning of the passage. Naming grammar terms isn’t interesting. Analyzing them is. Because calligraphy is never simply about fonts—they are about everything you want the reader to visualize. Beautiful typography is what that makes your writings distinct. It ultimately becomes beautiful, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture.
