End of Summer Sale! Prices Slashed!

Ever since I started the Alphabets, it has been my dream to go to Indonesia, land of a score of amazing traditional scripts, so I can see them in their natural habitat, help support revival movements, and maybe even do a little carving in local woods.

To do that, though, I need to raise some serious money, so I am offering a selection of my work at scandalously reduced prices. Please ignore what you see ON THIS PAGE and instead rub your hands in glee at the prices mentioned here! (Prices do not include shipping. Dimensions are approximate.)

Contact me via tim@endangeredalphabets.com to ask questions, or if you are interested.

I’ve arranged them in ascending order of price–so keep scrolling!
