The natural media brushes in the Penmanship set replicate vintage ink and brush pens in a digital format. BJ also provided 7 different lettering grid stamps and repeater brushes to help you lay out your digital lettering designs on their own, or add lettering to other tattoo designs. These guides are also invaluable tools to help you practice the shape and structure of your letter compositions.In addition to the natural media brushes in the Penmanship set, BJ also included 5 stamp alphabets to provide a visual reference to how the Penmanship brushes can be used to create different letter options, to layout different tattoo design options, and to provide a template for practicing letter composition.

The Oval letter stamps provide an excellent simple letter design with minimal flourish. Finally, the Chisel stamps combine a slightly more ornate style with a chisel-tip pen look.

From master lettering artist BJ Betts comes 100 Words to the Wise. Well-known for his hand-lettered designs and tattoos, this collection of lettering flash stamps includes classic idioms, informal quotes, and common customer requests.

BJ Betts' collection of how-to's and tools is comprehensive, starting with his eBook series Lettering Guides 1 - 5, the Penmanship brush and stamp set, and now his Words to the Wise flash set.

BJ included designs in his signature flourish-adorned script, less ornate brush script, Old English and beveled letters, horror and grittier fonts, and more. He drew each word or phrase with the meaning in mind, considering the meaning in his choice of type styling, and in some cases the addition of imagery to spice it up or enhance the design. The diversity expressed within this collection should inspire any artist viewing the designs with a wide range of approaches both stylistically and thematically.

You can also use these flash designs to practice drawing and develop the muscle memory of shapes, how to connect letters, spacing, and adding flourishes. Many of the designs in the set feature more than one font, allowing you a look into how BJ has made choices about how to combine lettering styles within a single design to highlight or create visual distinction amongst words.
