I'm hosting a small giveaway to show my appreciation for the Steemit community!

Calligraphic lettering has become a popular look for typography. I've just started learning how to write in this style of lettering, and I'd like to get some more practice.

The above image was handwritten on card stock. The leaves in the back are just a bit of decoration I decided to throw in for fun.

The giveaway as follows:

• The first five people to comment on this post will have their usernames handwritten by me. Resteems and upvotes are appreciated but not necessary!

• The most inspiring short quote in the comments, as determined by number of upvotes, will be handwritten by me. The length of the quote should not be more than a sentence, as it must be able to fit on an index card.

Both the usernames and quote entries must not contain any profanities or inappropriate content. You will be disqualified if so.

I have no idea how well or poorly this post will be received, so this is a bit of an experiment for me. One week after this post is published, the giveaway will end, and I will publish a second post containing photographs of the handwritten text.

This is what my username looks like written in this style. After I post the images, you are all free to do with them whatever you wish, e.g. editing, using it as a signature or banner, etc. Also, if you want a higher resolution image (up to the resolution of my phone's camera), I can upload them to an external site.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. I hope you guys enjoyed my handwriting!
