If the advent of computer typesetting freed the hand-letterer to hand-letter loosely, then I am trying to catch up with this freedom which, like many things, seems to be flying a few wing-flaps ahead of me. After years of painting paintings which require nearly a year of absorbed concentration and lettering letters which require tools and math to perfectly balance, there's something amazingly liberating about drawing these fast, direct pieces. The process of loosening up, made manifest. And made crickety.
