Blaze... I honestly could not tell you. It's a modern building. Hyatt Hotel in Denver... But I have no idea if the architect was in fact modeling it after a certain style. Heh. I came for Jim Butcher, and I stayed for the architecture.
I love your old english lettering and art! *forgive me if there's a certain name for it*
And... I'm posting it here, because I'm really proud of how this one came out... My daughter never holds still long enough for me to take her picture, but this one came out beautifuly... I'm going to print it for my wall.
The depth of field came out so nicely... I'm boggled.
Blaze:
Gorgeous! But how can it help but be gorgeous when the subject is so beautiful? ;)
There is a special name for what I do! That is calligraphy (the beautiful writing, which is the literal translation of the word) and illumination. Illumination being the drawing parts. Thank you, I am glad that you like it. I am actually only a mediocre calligrapher (or scribe) and feel my forte is the illumination part, but I like doing both, and so I do both.
The letter forms change according to where in history and geography they come from. There are better examples out there, and I hope that if you are interested will ask me for some URLS.
Blaze:
Meanwhile, in Chicago...

Lots of folks already know, but my online gallery's linked in my signature. Haven't added anything in quite a while, but then again, I haven't really done much drawing lately. I might add some stuff from work, though.
