smashing magazine (an insanely inspirational design resource for those who may not know) has just published an article about the lost art of handwriting and lettering. it covers everything from classical calligraphy to modern day typographic-based comic illustrations and does not disappoint in any of the categories. do yourself a favor and check it out. i know that anyone who reads this site will have an instant infatuation with almost every piece it features.

funny side note: a friend linked me to this article earlier today and pointed out the fact that they mention me and one of my latest brooklyn circus type treatments. nice!
