Pictorial Calligraphy

Posted Jun 2008

I usually presign my papers before I go to a party. Since people pay me by the hour, I try to do as much as possible before I'm 'on their clock'. So in my free time, I'll presign my papers, I'll put them into the mats, things like that.

They'll frequently be cartoony signatures. Quick happy playful things. But I just mentioned Pictorial Calligraphy in this blog this morning. And I came across this little scrap of paper when I opened my desk drawer this evening. It's a practice paper I made when I was seriously studying Chauncery Cursive several years ago:

Remembering. Old dreams of Fine Art. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So when I started presigning papers for this week's gigs (I'll be drawing M&M people for the M&M Company on Tuesday, and I have two parties on Saturday - a 13-year-old Birthday and a Graduation, and I'm expecting the deposit to arrive for a 10-year-old's Birthday for Friday.... That's about 200 papers. When you sign them all at once like this, you really see how presigning saves the customer from paying extra. It only looks like a partial second to sign a paper. But when you do all 200 of them at once takes a really countable chunk of time.)

So Like I say, I figured I'd best to presign a whole lotta papers. Chauncery Cursive seemed too precise to jump right into just now. But I do Curly Writing in my day-to-day world. That's a lot like Pictorial Calligraphy.....

Here's some of the Signatures I made. Each one is like a piece of Artwork. They're not my 'real official signature', but they 'claim' my Pictures:
