Some guy called Seb Lester on BBC 1

Some guy called Seb Lester on BBC 1 earlier this week talking about Calligraphy, for which I was happy to fly the flag. It was regarding National Handwriting Day. The interview was live, and I was told it would be watched by between 5 and 15 million people worldwide, so it was extremely nerve-wracking, but I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone more in 2024. My side mission was to cram as many books into the shot as humanly possible, and quite frankly, I think I outdid myself.

OMG this is so cool! Congrats for the fabulous interview. I had the pleasure and opportunity to meet Seb Lester a few years ago at a Smashing Magazine conference. He is such a fantastic calligraphy artist and person. I love all of your videos! You're so very talented

amazing talent to the point your italic calligraphy course came in handy :>

[@jsplinc2000]

I hope you continie doing those "calligraphy" this year sir! 😁

Nice one! I think the hand movements are different from jotting notes, so even if your handwriting is bad I see no reason why you can't start practising calligraphy. Then, your handwriting will improve anyway. But I've a way to go before I'm even remotely in Seb's ballpark!
