Seb Lester is a calligrapher based in London, whose Instagram account is a hypnotic look at his freehand skills at manipulating pens to create some handwriting most of us could never come close to recreating.
What's particularly brilliant is his ability to reproduce the lettering and logos of numerous iconic global brands, like Adidas, Nike, Gap, and Converse. It might not sound like compelling stuff, but watching him work a pen to perfectly capture the images that were probably created by graphic designers at a cost of millions is something special.
One handed, he creates perfectly neat and clean representations of the logos, or marvel at his more traditional work over on Instagram.
