R is for Retro, calligraphic illumination by Amy Crook

R is for Retro, calligraphic illumination by Amy Crook

Do you know a Renee or Robert who loves retro design? This R has a bit of sparkle, a bit of old-school charm, and a lot of pink and teal. The grey R is outlined in black and silver, and the red border and designs are also done in shiny glitter. I’m almost done with my alphabet, too, so if you’ve been waiting on T or V, they’ll be up soon!

R is for Retro, 5″x5″ Japanese watercolor and glitter gel pen on paper.

Above, you can see the shine of glitter on both borders, highlighting the rich, opaque pink and teal. Below, the R is hanging out with a few sneak peeks to spell STAR.
