Scanning the handwritten text and integrating it (sometimes word by word) into the artwork needs lots of time and patience. Why don't I just copy and paste the text into the artwork and use a ready-made handwritten font? It's simple: Even handwritten fonts have a kind of "regularity". The letters are repeated, in their nice, irregular, handwritten form, but repeated. Writing by hand gives the written part an irregularity which I like. I also keep some faults, scribbles or smudges. Not to mention that I write some letters (unconsciously but consequently) in different ways / variations, like "t", "a", "g", "z", "h". Depends on the mood, depends on the next letter, haven't really thought about it.
