I usually don’t do a ton of script. It’s not that I am terrible at it or anything but all the guys i work with KILL it. Jeremy Lewis, Jonathan Cheston and David Iaquinta can whip out some script that puts me to shame. But today I did this one and I felt alright about it. I have been working on improving my lettering and I think it’s finally coming around.
