The Neography Journal
Click to enter!
A tribute to the obscure art that has occupied perhaps more of my time and dedication than drawing, painting, design or animation or all of the four put altogether.
It's neography, the art of constructed writing systems which can be used in anything from logo design, codemaking, sci-fi and fantasy fiction to fine arts. Traditionally, craftsmen of this trade are driven by a fascination of different cultures; and the creative process occur (by custom) during long lessons when minds start to wander.
I start the Journal with the entry on Osteoglyphy, the harrowingly beautiful and spiffy writing designed for writing Finnish, but there are more to come, scripts I have made, even way back in 2004.
A huge compilation of con-scripts, by different neographers, can be found here.
