This work was done by Jan Boyd in Boston in 2011 for the first session's homework, "Blackletter: Modernizing a Traditional Calligraphic Hand".
After being introduced to many variations of Gothic lettering during the first weekend of class - from traditional to very modern and swashy - the challenge was to do a piece incorporating some variations. Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah seemed to me to be a perfect vehicle, a relatively modern lyric with an ancient theme.
The lettering was done with sumi ink on Arches 140 # hot pressed paper, the image was then inverted in Photoshop and printed onto Arches Text Wove. Size: 9 X12 in.
