Monogram-a-Week: 013

Above: Calligraphic/written. Below: Lettered/drawn.

This week's entry: "EO." I drew the lettered version first, and, dissatisfied with my (very) haphazard draftsmanship, decided to revisit the monogram with some chunks of leftover graphite. Personally, I much prefer the calligraphic execution's texture and contrast to the lettered form.

This week's entry: "S.A.," for "Shahzad Ahsan," not "Sparrow Agnew" and definitely not the jackbooted thugs of the early Third Reich.

Two variations on "PB," the first more conventional, the second rendered in B&W naval signal flags.

Starting today, I'll be making a monogram a week for an entire year (or longer, who knows). It'll mostly be a chance for me to play around with letterforms, but if you'd like to commission a monogram, then feel free to shoot me an email at tsquared1017@gmail.com. If I make a monogram based featuring the letters in your name and you'd like to use it for personal or commercial purposes, then please contact me to discuss pertinent licensing fees and terms.

First up: M.S.
