• Minneapolis design studio Larsen has created a website documenting an amazing project: Calligrapher Donald Jackson is creating a handwritten and illuminated Bible for Saint John’s Abbey and University. Jackson’s project began in 1998 and is scheduled for completion next year; the site shows his process, progress and tools and includes a page-view look at the book itself. The Saint John’s Bible is a modern work using ancient tools and materials: quills and paints made of ground lapis lazuli, vermilion and 24-karat gold. See the Saint John’s Bible website.
