Inspiration: Calligraphy

Calligraphy is the art of writing and the best thing is that you just need two things to start learning and improving your skills: a pen and a paper. Here are some examples what you can do with it.

Great inspiration. But I'd be really interested in the individual artists. linking to deviantart just isn't enough credit.

Calligraphy is really hard to learn, but after learn it you can make a lot of great works. Like the ones that are in this post.

I agree with you Cate, they look very hard to learn ;)

No offense, but calligraphy is actually pretty hard to learn, especially the kind you've showcased here. It requires a bit more than a "pen and paper." Just thought I'd put in my two cents.
