Rachael-Yamagata-calligraphy

The first business I ever had was as a calligrapher when I was 14 years old. I put flyers and my business card in neighbors mailboxes and would address envelopes and certificates for anyone who wanted it. So, there's always been a soft spot in my heart for calligraphy and any exploration of hand-written type. I love this series of sketches and explorations from a calligraphy class in Brazil. And this one (shown) is especially lovely.

I'm not sure exactly what Tailored by England is, but I do know that this signed painted on the wall advertising their brand is so stinking beautiful...would be beautiful inside or outside a studio space...

(UPDATE: This is the logo for...surprisingly...a sports brand called Umbro. Located in the UK..see more here}
