YES.
THIS IS AMAZING AND
THANK YOU FOR CREATING
THAT "LIVING 808" SIGN
FOR US.
TELL ME ABOUT THIS FOR
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE
SEEN IT OR HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT BRUSH LETTERING IS.
BRUSH LETTERING IS A
FORM OF CA C CALIGRAPHY.
I TRIED IT OUT AND I
FOUND DIFFERENT MEDIUMS
TO USE AND I'VE BEEN
DOING IT SINCE THEN.
FANTASTIC.
DO YOU THINK YOU
COULD TEACH SAM AND I.
YES, DEFINITELY I
CAN.
THE WORD IS GOOD
LUCK.
WHAT IS THE KEY?
DO YOU NEED SPECIAL PENS
FOR THIS.
I DID BRING SOME PENS
FOR YOU TO TRY?
THERE ARE PENS THAT
HAVE A BRUSH TIP
BRISTLES LIKE A PAINT
BRUSH.
THOSE ARE VERY HARD TO
USE.
THEY ARE FELT TIP BUT
THEY ARE FLEXIBLE.
THAT'S THE WAY YOU CAN
GET THEM.
HERE, TANNYA.
LET ME WATCH.
IT'S A PRESSURE
LET ME SEE IF I CAN
EVEN OPEN THE PEN.
SO WHAT YOU'RE GOING
TO DO IS ACTUALLY -- I
CREATED THESE WORK
SHEEPS TO HELP WITH
THAT.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHICH WAY
TO --
GO UP OR DOWN.
ALWAYS REMEMBER UP IS
THIN, FAT IS DOWN.
JUST KIDDING.
HOWEVER YOU WANT TO
HOLD YOUR PEN, WHATEVER
IS EASIER FOR YOU.
SO UP IS THIN.
THE KEY IS TO
PRACTICE.
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS PRACTICE.
THAT'S THE MAIN KEY IS
PRACTICING.
SAM, YOU'RE ALREADY
DOING BETTER THAN ME.
YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE GUYS
THAT EXCEL IN
EVERYTHING.
NOT REALLY.
YOU JUST PRESS IT.
YOU EVENTUALLY START
MAKING THESE INTO
LETTERS.
PRESS IT.
THAT'S WHAT THESE PENS
ARE MADE FOR.
I'VE BEEN WRITING
HAND WRITING HAS ALWAYS
BEEN A PASSION OF MINE.
THIS REMINDS ME OF MY
FIRST AND SECOND GRADE
TEACHERS.
LEARNING CURSIVE.
SO EVENTUALLY WE GET
GOING ON THE LETTERS.
SO THESE STROKES WILL
LETTERS SO YOU'LL GET
USED TO IT, Ns AND
Ms.
I ACTUALLY BROUGHT SOME
WORK SHEETS FOR YOU BUT
LOWER CASE LETTERS AND
UPPER CASE SO YOU CAN
PRACTICE WHEN YOU HAVE
TIME.
TELL US ABOUT THE
WORKSHOP WHILE YOU'RE
DOING THIS.
THE WORKSHOP IS
ACTUALLY MY FIRST
WORKSHOP EVER SINCE
DOING THIS LETTERING
THING.
IT'S GOING TO BE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNTIL
FEBRUARY 23RD.
LIKE I SAID, THIS HAS
BEEN ON MY WISH LIST TO
LEARN FOR TWO YEARS.
JOY'S THE ONE WHEN NEEDS
TO TEACH ME.
LOOK AT THOSE CREATIONS.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S SORT OF A SPIN ON
CALIGRAPHY.
YOU SHOW OFF, SAM.
RIGHT.
I THINK I COULD WORK
AND EVERYTHING.
THERE'S DIFFERENT
PENS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT
THICKNESSES.
THE TIPS ARE THICK, SOME
ARE THIN.
AND YOU CAN CREATE
THESE, POSITIVE AND
POWERING STATEMENTS.
WHAT'S THE HARDEST
THING FOR YOU TO TRY TO
CAPTURE.
COLORS, MULTI COLORS.
MULTI-COLORS
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I USE PAINT AND MY PAINT
BRUSHES AND I ADDED SOME
HIGHLIGHTS THERE.
HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY
OR VALENTINE'S DAY, I
COULD GET SOMEBODY TO DO
OUT GRAPHS ARE
SIMPLE.
YOU JUST FREE WILLY.
THAT'S NICE.
UPSIDE DOWN.
