Of Machines & Men|Women - The SingulARiTy & Script

This is Script As Art archival #1, archiving the art of handwritten script.

(See below for links on the dying art of handwritten script.)

From a journalistic perspective the questions answered for each topic provide an interesting look into the mind of the artist.

Either print/handwrite out the Who, What, Where, When, Why, Etc. topics covered below.

Then with handwritten script (cursive, regular) give answers to each of the topics.

Scan or take a photo of your art-script and I will post as shown below.

Edgy Portrait Party!

Well smoothed edges artist Allise Leffen Pelham’s  gigantic portrait was displayed for public viewing at a small house party.
 
Of course this old school pre-flash iPhone snap does not do the work justice.
(Waiting for the hi-rez version/s to hit Pelham’s new blog. ???)
 
Ahhhh, Joe the foodie.  Edgy.
 
Music Man (and girl).  Smoothed edges.
