Said I had used an Italic hand for a long time -- and, of course, you fine folks asked to see some of my scrawling. So here are two samples of Italic Handwriting as interpreted by Randal. You are free to laugh, comment, and criticize. Of course, anyone criticizing may have to post their own hand.
A lot of study of calligraphy in general and Italics in particular went into my writing. Next, I hope to find a few examples of Calligraphy in my notes and journals (versus handwriting). Much of my writing is done swiftly and with more attention to content than form. The few formal pieces I did were given to a fellow student that needed to study forms and spacing. The girl has continued her lettering and continues to grow in her own hand, I am happy to say.
Yours,
Randal
