"When I was still young, I had to become an artist and I thought that everything that comes from my hand must be beautiful ..."


Jake Wiedeman, the youngest "Master Pennman" in history. Master Pennman is given only to those with outstanding English writingIAMPETHIt is the title of.


Mr. Wademan was drawing a letter and a picture with a pen with a pen spreading paper at the desk even when everyone was typing a notebook PC in high school.


When actually working, it seems to use the following special tools.


Circular sharpening when round and round ......


Start work.



It is IAMPETH (The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting /Encloser, International Association of Master Pennman) NPO. Mr. Michael Sul who is currently the supervisor of IAMPETH says that "Jake is one of the most skilled technicians in existence".


Wade Man's work is like this.




"Jake has been an artistic temperament since a long time, I am keen to draw very fine pictures and I always finished lunch," said Janet son of a mother.


This is the word book that Wideman used for childhood. A beautiful cursive is lined with the slurry.


A lot of things are now being done on computers, and the task of writing letters and drawing pictures is also digitized. Penman 's golden age, which had drastically decreased with digitization, was in the era of the Civil War, acquiring skills of English calligraphy was the key to success, so many people attended a special school to become a pen maker. And among the graduates of the school, a person with particularly superior skills was called "Master Pennman".


Master Pennman currently has only 12 people in the world. Mr. Wade Man is one of the twelve, the youngest master Pennman in the last 30 years.


Mr. Wademan practiced various art methods, but what I use for my work iscalligraphyMethod.


Using a calligraphy method, you can have a strong message in pictures and letters.


It seems that Wateman of perfectionist takes several months to make a big work and one year if it is long.


"Sometimes it seems to be easy", but that is because I did not see that I got up at 4:30 in the morning and was working like a slave, "Wademan said.


"People see only the results, so I do not know the conflict to produce results, perhaps, except my wife"



My wife, Hannah, is in the picture. Mr. Hannah has been seeing Waideman's work and professional attitude before marriage, he seems to understand and support.


It is also important to learn beauty from around us by saying "Learn as much as practicing". According to Mr. Sul, Wideman says that he often goes on a journey to follow the trajectory of American historical figures.


It is a leading writer of English calligraphyPlat Roger SpencerMr. Wade Man sitting on a rocky mountain in Colorado and starting sketching that he was inspired from natural beauty.



Su - ru and Mr. Wade man were headed for the station.


In one of the rooms in the station ......


Wade man's work was adorned.


Today, computers and devices memorize a variety of things, and people have stopped learning or memorizing themselves. However, Mr. Wademan's argument that "information is connected to the brain firmly by connecting words of one letter to create words and creating sentences from words."


We humans are not machines.


There is something that can not be expressed in computers, the impression of only handwritten characters and the ability to move people. If the Declaration of Independence of America was made like a mail, the impression given to us might have been diminished.


Wideman's wish to keep sticking to analog in the digital age is that "people fall in love with" drawing with hands ".
