Inspiration vs. Imitation
Every now and then I get a really lovely email from an aspiring letterer that is about to publish a passion project of his or her own.

I almost forgot about RAC.Fast-forward two years, I was a PhD student at a small North American University with a student visa and … nothing else in my pockets. For a few months I was able to make a living from ...
