Penmaster

Back when I was a lad, the dark ages, penmanship, in the form of cursive writing, was a required class... except for future doctors.
Now it's been replaced with typing in many schools, and on a national level in countries like Denmark.
I was happy to put away the pen and inkwell, but Jake Weidmann persisted, to become the youngest of the 12 Master Penman in the world.

This is so cool. I'm surprised no one replied.

We were all dumbfounded.

Extraordinary. But the man is an artist.

I write by hand every day of my life - notes to self, shopping lists, reminders, cards and letters (there are some Dwellars who probably wish I'd just stop already). But I could never even approach this level of beauty.

Thanks Bruce, well worth the watch.
