Typographic Studies - Hand Lettering

I am a huge fan of what we call “Calligraffiti” , which is a blend of classical calligraphy with modern graffiti. Probably my favorite of all of these is an artist called Retna. I’ve played around tons of times with trying to decode his letters, create letters in his style, and perhaps play around with my own version of a similar kind of lettering. Below are some explorations in this area. Typography, especially hand lettering of all types, has always been one of my passions.

“Stop Making Stupid People Famous” - in the style of Retna

“Odysseus”

“Per Ardua Ad Astra” - Through Adversity to the Stars // 2 Panel

“Free Thinking // Freedom From Thinking”

“Armed With a Mind”
