Devil's Dictionary - Inks, Doodles, Italic Script
Hi all. First post here. There have been rumblings in the other forum which led to the expulsion or temporary banning of some of my favorite posters. This has left me sad and with a bitter taste in the mouth. For these reasons, I spent several days thinking about what actions to take including ceasing my posts. Instead, I have decided to be constructive and to post here as well, as long as the posts are welcome.
Here is the back story. I like pens, inks and dabble in doodles. Since I am no great writer (My journals would read like a laundry list of routines. I woke up. brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, went to work.. You get the idea.), I decided to transcribe and illustrate the Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce. He was a columnist and journalist from the late 1800's/early 1900's who had a wonderfully cynical outlook of life. Many of his "definitions" still are relevance in the present. That way I get to test inks, play with my pens, learn italic script (Getty and Dubay's Write On taught me), and better at drawing.
Respectfully yours,
Plistumi
Here is the word GOOSE:
