I wasn't expecting this to go live so soon but here's a little project I'm collaborating on with Jay Smith. The aim is to reprint the Coast Manual of Lettering and Designs (1907).

https://www. kickstarter.com/projects/coast manual/the-coast-manual-of-lettering-and-designs?ref=dp310a

The manual is one of the rarest sign painting books out there, and it was a series of lucky events that led to Jay having a copy in his possession: https://bl.ag/bookish-good-luck-at-mcl ellan-signs-in-nampa-idaho/#mclellan-signs-nampa-idaho.

I'll share more with mailing list subscribers soon, but please back it and boost 😊

Following the recent influx of new folk across the fediverse — welcome! — here's a new #introduction to me, Sam Roberts.

I am the editor and publisher of BLAG (Better Letters Magazine) at https://bl.ag, and part-time Ghostsigns blogger at https://ghostsigns.co.uk/blog.

I'm a Londoner living in Sant Pere de Ribes, Catalonia, Spain, and here on Mastodon I tend to tag with #SignPainting, #Signwriting, #Lettering, and #Ghostsigns, plus ocassional tangents.

Portrait: Yanina Shevchenko, 2024.

Man sitting on a stool holding a copy of BLAG magazine. He has a shaved head, is wearing a green jumper, and is smiling as he looks at someone to his right. The scene is in an art studio setting, and the man is bathed in sunlight, while other parts of the studio are in the shade.
