LETTERFORMING by SEB LESTER
Hi, it's Shen and welcome to my Corner! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Unfortunately, I was sick most of the week and wasn't able to go out. :( But, HEY! I was able to find this great new artist so that's definitely a win! His name is Seb (Sebastian) Lester and he is absolutely passionate about letterforms. (Stated right in his website bio!) http://www.seblester.com/
Lester's resume is very impressive as he has developed many various typefaces and type illustrations for some of the world's biggest companies, including NASA, Apple, Nike, and even The New York Times. Additionally, he is crazy about calligraphy which is starting to earn him a substantial following! In fact, I happened to find him on Instagram (Seblester) where he regularly posts short videos and pictures of his works, where, let me tell you, it is mezmerizing and soothing to watch him write. It actually became addicting and if you don't believe me, I would suggest looking at the video below and just watch him create.

Entranced yet? During the time that I become a mindless zombie that can only stare in awe sometimes I have just enough time to think, "HOW?!"
And here is just a bonus video because I thought it would be good to show his different types of lettering and the various tools he uses to create his letterforms.
Okay, that's all for tonight! Shen signing off!
