Newest Calligraphic Book!!

Much excitement this week....
Yves Leterme's much awaited book
"Thoughtful Gestures"
is now available for purchase!

Renowned throughout the calligraphic world for his expressive gestural writing and stunning gesso and pure pigment works, Yves' new book presents a reflection of his thoughts and skills, along with discussions of the technical and philosophical aspects of the making of his personal artwork. Yves also presents a selection of his commercial work and projects, including bodypainting, murals and works on fabric.

Yves is delighted with the results after months of writing and editing...and we are sure to be delighted as well!

Yves is in charge of the distribution of his books, which are now happily smiling at him in his garage....and if you are dying to lay your hands on a copy of 'the' book that will finally complete your library...you can find all the important ordering info on his website.

a bloggy presence...

Great news for all you blog enthusiasts - Yves Leterme - one of my favourite calligraphers (and I suspect a fav amongst many of you too) - has recently established a blog of his calligraphic wanderings/ wonderings...
