- The next artist I'd like to share with you…is Nicolas Fredrickson, and he's based out at Nebraska.…The name of his studio is called MTRL Design…and he's sharing with us a sign that he created…to use in his studio space.…And he's really inspired, specifically with this design.…It kinda harkens back to the…old vintage hand-lettered signage…that you would see in the 1800's specifically.…
And I really like that approach.…That type of hand lettering back then,…they obviously didn't have modern tools…so it was hand-lettered.…But you look at some of, especially you go all the way back…to illuminated manuscripts, that has hand lettering in it.…It has gold leaf and it's just impeccable…the detail they could get with some of that work.…And it's kinda mind-blowing considering…they didn't have digital methods so...…In terms of Nicolas's work, he's inspired by the past.…But he gives it his own flair.…
And he told me he likes to draw out…a lot of different designs and as he's drawing them out…he'll weed out what he considers the bad ones…
