Letter "J" character study

It's been a little while since my last letter post, so it's good to be back in action with the infamous name lead, the letter "J".

I only want to point out one thing about this character, and it's that with the exception of maaayyybe "U" (when tailed) and "Z", it's the only uppercase character that appears to face left. Mama J says to baby j - "Honey, I don't care what the rest of those kids say to you, just keep on looking the other way. It's what you were born to do." Baby j grows up strong and confident. I wanna pause and give a big shout out to mama Js everywhere. With your help, we can really start to turn things around, and not just on ransom letters either.

Thanks for stopping by. Comment if you feel inclined to do so. "C" is next, but after that I'll need more requests. Don't make me choose on my own people!!

Letter "A" - 1st and 3rd

Another week, another letter. Absolutely loving this project.

"A" is in the spotlight this time around, making it's debut as the first vowel featured in this ongoing study. The thing I really appreciate about this particular letter is it's natural balance. Two pillars relying on each other for support with a horizontal brace for added stability. It's basic structure is an image of strength and one of solid foundation. It also happens to be the first initial of my wonderful wife, Abigail :)

Thanks to Andrew Cohen for participating in my call for requests. I'm still planning on honoring your subsequent "J" and "C" requests as well.

As always, your comments are welcomed and appreciated.
