“The Honor”

I came across this quote while looking for another, during Reggie’s fabulous class on lettering inspired by the St. John’s Bible. It’s from the Ethics of the Fathers, a commentary on the Bible. It immediately made me think of Reggie, and I decided to write it with some of the letters we had been studying.

I had also recently taken a short class online with Susie Berringer, on writing with mica powders, and I loved the look of the gold I mixed. And I had some papers left over from a book project that needed some dark blues, which I painted with acrylics, primarily Payne’s gray. I used a Mitchell #4 nib, and the Pearl-Ex solar gold mica wrote beautifully on the acrylic background.  The quote says it all: thank you, Reggie, for many years of teaching and inspiration.
