The return of Asre at the back end of last year has been most welcome, and his tidy writing has been featured several times on this blog. This comic-style lettering behind the railings on the swimming pool wall is an absolute gem.

What I am enjoying about Asre’s work is the precision and attention to finishing. All the fills are strong and solid, the shadows and borders cleanly presented – even the blue splash is carefully worked. Asre strikes me as being an artist who takes pride in the appearance of his work, as much as he seems to enjoy creating it. I love the subtle yellow fill spots in his letters.
I’m learning I have my colo(u)r and style preferences on the primarily lettering art. Many years ago I was in a long-term relationship with a very talented lettering artist/calligrapher. I kind of hear him over my shoulder as I look at these images.
