These Instagram Illustration Videos Are Free Therapy

These Instagram Illustration Videos Are Free Therapy

As we face into a mammoth weekend of catching up with pals and eating chocolate eggs, it helps to have a few moments of chill while sitting at your office desk. Which is where these deeply hypnotic videos from calligrapher Seb Lester come in handy.

While the art of drawing logos has a bit of a commercial flavor, there’s something incredibly gratifying about watching Lester master difficult curves and familiar everyday images. There are fashion logos found in most wardrobes, and the spindly titles of fantasy movies and television franchises. And Google, of course.

Have a watch. Your mouth may drop open.
