This line of work fascinates me.

I may just make a persuit out of this myself.

I never really thought my life might point me in this direction but it seems fitting.

 Yeah I'm really getting into this pretty deep. 

I blame nostr for encouraging such shenanigans.

 I remember reading that article! You’d probably enjoy the vintage penmanship books on Archive.org: https://archive.org/search?query=Penmanship

 Actually, now that I think about it …. [searches through vintage paper stash] …. I have a mostly complete copy of the interior pages of an 1883 Ames Compendium of Practical Ornamental Penmanship. If you don’t mind DMing me your address, I’ll mail it to you. https://i.nostr.build/ouDA9xWTI6NgrgzX.jpg https://i.nostr.build/RjrLnlB3Ce4hXUKM.jpg https://i.nostr.build/X7QmAer1XX5FUA31.jpg
