donald jackson is the calligrapher for the Queen of England. he took on the Saint John's Bible project that i've written about previously and that is on display right now at our local university. i've been so inspired by both the words and images of this that it's given new meaning to anticipating Easter and a renewed interest in studying the techniques of hand lettering and gold foil illumination. this crucifixion scene seems more hopeful to me than most, as it appears at this angle to "fly upwards" even as we wait and hope for resurrected life.
