"Jon, again, love your work, and I hope my questions never bug you. I was wondering how you achieved the roughness and organic feel of your lettering. I am not referring to any texturing or distressing, but rather the wavvy feel to your outlines. Do you just "draw" them that way and then fill in or does it come from the tooth of the paper you use causing ink bleed? Thanks!!!"

The whole thing developed through experimenting with drawing utensils and paper type. I’ve found certain combinations that produce more or less ink bleed and then try to exploit or tone it down when I scan and correct in Photoshop. I rarely draw any type of lines that are rogue, I try to keep it as natural and organic as possible. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, I love helping out where I can.
