Sam asked me if I’d like to write for the Sam at BLAG (npub1fpx…k29l) blog when we first met here, but I felt so uncertain about what I would even say about sign painting in India. It is only now, with the India Street Lettering book in the offing, that I buckled down and put pen to paper.
The result is a short essay where I try to unpack how I, as a documentarian and type designer, have tried to deal with the clichés that come with how Indian sign painting is viewed.
