Peace. New limited edition prints by Seb Lester I am proud to present a new limited edition print released today entitled ‘Peace’. It is available in two colourways. A classic metallic gold on black and a contemporary dark chrome on white. I would like to offer a little insight into the design. There are words that are common currency for calligraphers and artists. Often profound words that encapsulate an idea or sentiment that has broad and timeless appeal. ‘Peace’ is one such word. As is often the case I have drawn inspiration from our rich heritage of letterforms in the West.
The background filigree is composed largely of spirals and stars. I know a piece is finished when I feel that adding or removing even the smallest of details would be detrimental to the overall design. Behind the scenes, the dark chrome on white edition in production at BEP Screen Printing in East London: Peace – A limited edition screen print from Seb Lester on Vimeo. ‘Peace’ is available to buy now.

Advertisement Handwriting seems to have lost some of its attraction over the last years. Nobody writes beautiful handwritten letters, and uses digital means of communication with smileys, abbreviations and standard lettering instead. And that’s a pity. Since handwriting is unique, it has a tremendous expressive power a standard lettering isn’t able to achieve. More than that, handwritten text can be incredibly gorgeous. In fact, there is nothing more valuable than a beautiful handwritten letter sent to your beloved ones. In the overview below you’ll find excellent examples of beautiful handwriting, creative lettering and professional calligraphy.
