Qotw - 2017

David,

Lloyd Reynolds had a name for the narrrow paper banners with calligraphy, designed to hang from trees. What was that?

 

Weathergrams.

 

Actually, I sent the original to a former student of Lloyd Reynolds who is a professional calligrapher and a pen pal.

LJR published a book of his weathergrams, I think sometime in the early 70s. Matter of fact, I think I still have my copy packed away somewhere...

I would love to have more information about this publication - date, title, photos. The Cooley Gallery is working on reprinting some of the works of Reynolds and his students that are currently out of print. This might be a candidate.

Hi friends!

 

I suggest one of my favorite phrases for the next week:

 

Everyone knows, something is impossible. But then someone ignorant appears who does not know that it is impossible, and makes it​!

 

Albert Einstein.

 

How for you?

I think I still have my copy, but if I do, it is packed away somewhere. If memory is correct, it was a large format paperback on the thin side and the text was all done in LJR's hand, no photos. I am in the process of going through my stuff and sort of moving, so if I come across it I will let you know.

I think that the cover of the edition I have or had was greener and the g in the title was rendered differently - the decender was elongated vertically. Might be mistaken, but working off of memory here...

I was looking for something on one of my bookshelves and discovered that I had printed out a copy of the LJR Weathergram book some time ago. The cover is indeed something like avocado green. The script is identical to the copy on the Haiku Foundation web site.

 

I wonder if it is still under copyright. I'll find out and report.

Hi!

If no one else wants to start, then I'll probably start first.

Nice drawing, Andrew.

There would appear to be many variations of this quotation with no actual proof that Einstein actually said it. This is the version which I was taught as a child, written here in an everyday Italic scribble

Thank you. The main thing is not writing but content and the essence is not changed .

And you can write, as it is more convenient to perceive the one who writes.

This one was fun, used my everyday writer and ink, and a careful everyday italic hand. For those reluctant to join in, come on! Write, what do you have to lose? Have fun with the rest of us!
