I rarely have a chance to hand write much of anything these days. No more in-class note taking, no real letter writing. Maybe that’s why, when I do write in my daily planner, it appears in all caps. I take my time to make each letter look nice. Like Aaron Cometbus or David Shrigley, I like how words in all capital letters look on the page.
Today while reading the Times, I came across the work of Leanne Shapton. She’s a multitasking artist/illustrator/writer from Toronto now living in New York. And she is very fond of handlettered capitals.
Did you know she did the Kicking and Screaming Criterion Collection cover? Very nice.
