Novice calligrapher. Accepting requests!

Greetings to all!

I'm Eagle, and I am currently going through a calligraphy hyper-fixation stage, primarily in a celtic-ish hand. You can see my work under the "calligraphy practice" tag.

What this means for you is that if you've ever wanted your favorite phrase or sentence to appear in celtic-ish calligraphy, you've come to the right place!

The askbox is open for calligraphy requests. Please. Validate my being here. Previous asks are under the "you ask and Eagle writes" tag. Please only one request per ask, you may submit multiple asks.

Will write: profanity, other items that may be unsuitable for immature audiences

Will not write: derogatory terms, anything discriminatory (except discriminating against Nazis), or anything else that makes me wonder if you are, in fact, someone I'd be better off punching than befriending.

Thanks for visiting!

First of all, I really like the way your writing looks. I'm also currently practising calligraphy :) although I am aiming for a copperplate kind of thing.

My request is "You have a place in my heart, right next to the brown bear."

Thanks XD

You have a place in my heart, right next to the brown bear.

Copperplate is fun I hope you’ll share some!

Greetings! Sent here by theshitpostcalligrapher’s post with a prompt from the thinker Adam Smith, in light of the ongoing strikes:

“In reality, high profits tend much more to raise the price of work than high wages.”

Probably a terrible prompt, but I'm on cold medicine and sleepy:

agaybird asked:

what type of calligraphy pens do you use ? i'd love to get back into it

In short: yes.

I’ll use a dip pen (partial to Brause nibs), as well as fountain pens. Pictured (top to bottom) are a Lamy Safari (currently a 1.5mm stub nib), Kaweco Perkeo (cones as a set with different stub nibs) and a Pilot Parallel 2.4mm (last I checked there were six available sizes, and you can buy multi-packs).

Each of these behaves *very* differently (well, the Lamy and Kaweco are sorta similar both being stub nibs) and it can take some experimentation to figure out which tool you like best (I find the Kaweco to be least finicky, fwiw)

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions!

They're older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It's why we're like this, I think. You don't stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You're always going to be a little Off.

For the requests: *slams bag of lolipop dicks on counter* I want you to always carry one on you so that when I tell you to suck a dick I know you can and will.

Hope that isn't too long and that you're having a wonderful day!

~slams bag of lollipop dicks on counter~

I want you to always carry one on you so that when I tell you to suck a dick I know you can and you will.

…this feels like a workplace sexual harassment issue, but otherwise enjoying the visual!

how to stop isolating yourself?? the answer is give up on code and hidden messages. love fully and loudly and truthfully and always. be deliberate. be open. feel everything. but won’t it be hard? won’t it hurt? yes!!!! yes.

Be inexcusably yourself and you'll scare off the people who can't handle you. Whoever's left are your people.

silvermare asked:

If you're up for something long-form, I would love to see this calligraphy'd:

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

If you're not up for something that lengthy, here is a collection of out of context quotes from my friends you are welcome to use for practice:

"Doctor Mario is not a real doctor do not let him touch your genitals"

"17 mouths, 13 wings"

"I mean, butts are important"

"I go too fast. I need to enjoy the murder journey."

"This is your seasonal reminder that pee is stored in the balls"

"Say it again prosecutor sama"

"If anyone needs gout we know a guy"

"I'm at least 4% sure none of that is based on peer reviewed science"

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.
