Calligraphy: A Book of Contemporary Inspiration

The pages of mysterious asemic calligraphy COMMUNICATE beautifully through their graceful, patterns of marks, lines, contrasts. I have begun to make my own pen nibs to practice and add fun pages to my "unconventional books".

This book lives up to its sub-title, "A Book of Contemporary Inspiration" completely. The author's use of nature photography as abstract patterns to inspire new and creative styles of calligraphic design is unique. It will inspire anyone to look at natural things in a different way, and to use calligraphy as an art form and a means of personal expression. A worthwhile addition to any calligrapher's library.

This book is stunning! Gorgeous work that inspires. The artist incorporates everyday living into her lettering art.

Love, love, this book. As a long time calligrapher I'm always in search of interesting marks to make on the piece on which I am working. Lach provides a wealth of ideas, strokes, etc. A permanent addition to my libraby

This book is beautiful! It doesn't show alphabets for you to check out or copy, it's not a how-to book. Shows mostly works of art done using lettering (like the ones in the cover), but they are brilliant and creative and beautiful!

A truly inspirational book for those who wish to explore the graphic Mark without training to be a calligrapher

This remarkable book inspires many levels of calligraphic drawing. It is exciting and motivates artists to look at things from new perspectives and promotes creativity in the possibilities of calligraphic tools.

This book wasn't what I was expecting. It had artistic examples of layouts, but not enough true calligraphy. I expected to see more lettering examples.I returned the book.
