"its like music, people make the music i make the sound".
  • doing rough sketches of letter e.g. aensg
  • find something he likes, look at it intently and a lot and put it away and the next day draw it from memory (looks completely different) *an influence but not a copy
  • like taking thing apart and looking at it in detail; reading in different language 
  • language of science (latin); language of diplomacy (french) language of exploration (english)
  • there's different languages that one can know e.g internet language, iPad language

  • every letter has a rhythm; it has a face it all combines together 
  • rhythm between words, letters 
  • contrast between outside and inside shape
