D espite my illustration of a monk typing "calligraphy", nothing replaces the prestige and beauty of fine hand-lettering. Practiced and revered for centuries, it is the selection of choice for life's most honored and precious moments. Though computer-generated lettering can satisfy everyday business needs only hand-lettering and art can provide the level of aesthetics, quality and range of creation required for special occasions and individuals.

Ronald Baker in his studio

S ince 1971, we've served the needs of VIP's in government, business, and associations and individuals in the private sector with our fine hand-lettering and art creations. Only traditional materials designed to last for centuries are used. This includes museum quality 100% rag acid-free paper that is prepared to resemble the animal skins of calves, sheep or goats, once used as the parchment. The alphabets we use span 2000 years.
