Dear Reader:

This week I continue the “Dave vs the Masters” series where I try to replicate a specimen by one of the the great American penmanship masters.

In this episode, I read a letter from subscriber T. E. Brady, Jr. He challenges me to write some copy from the Zaner Method Manual 144, which I accept. He also makes some weird football references while being unnecessarily arrogant, but I’m always grateful to receive mail from a subscriber.

Watch the episode below or click here to watch it on YouTube. Lots of improvements were made to the production quality this week, but more are needed and will be made each week.

Also check out the images below to get a good look at the original copy by Zaner and my attempts.

Sincerely,
Dave

Zaner’s original copy from Manual 144 followed by my attempts.
This is the full page of writing I did showing all my warm ups before making the attempts at the copy.
