Notes: a Calligraphic Journal: Morning Dervish

http://contemporarycalligraphy.blogspot.com/2009/07/morning-dervish.html

Wednesday, July 08, 2009. On a good morning — those mornings when I don’t stumble directly. To the kitchen for coffee — I start the day with the five Tibetan Rites. The first rite is whirling, like a dervish. And so Morning Dervish. This dervish has now whirled south to be a part of an exhibition at the Naples Museum of Art. Entitled The Saint John’s Bible and the Art of the Book. Needless to say, it is honored to participate! I wanna do the five tibetan rites! This comment has been removed by the author.

Notes: a Calligraphic Journal: Natural Calligraphy

http://contemporarycalligraphy.blogspot.com/2009/06/natural-calligraphy.html

Thursday, June 18, 2009. At first glance, calligraphy seems. To be so focussed on the man-made. Drawn or pen-made letters, philosophical quotes, rulers and grids. We study the history of letters, which intertwines with the history of today’s dominant cultures. Because I draw so much inspiration from nature, I’ve often wondered why I don’t paint watercolour landscapes or florals or pet portraits? Why am I so strongly drawn to letterforms? Why, when I doodle, is it inevitably a letter? Joyce across the Pond.

Sunday, May 12, 2013. I just bought a new brush – the Liquitex Freestyle – a full six inches wide and looking like it just might be able to create a calligraphic stroke! I am excited to try it.

Notes: a Calligraphic Journal: The Magic of Vitaly Shapovalov

http://contemporarycalligraphy.blogspot.com/2010/07/magic-of-vitaly-shapovalov.html

Sunday, July 25, 2010. The Magic of Vitaly Shapovalov. One challenge all calligraphers face at some point is how to successfully integrate text and image. Calligraphy tends to be such a strong visual force that combining it with images often leads to dissonance between the image and text. I remember once picking up a book about calligraphy and flowers, only to marvel at how calligraphy and flowers can clash! But, along comes Vitaly Shapovalov. And more of his work can be seen here. Thanks for the post.

http://contemporarycalligraphy.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-work-in-progress.html

Sunday, June 28, 2009. Sneak preview of some of new work — quite experimental at this point. I’ve recently taken an acrylic painting course with Timothy Hoey. And he helped me start moving in a new direction with glazes and textures. fun! Randall M. Hasson. To combine that quality of lettering into your paintings will make a sure winning combinaion. I say keep painting! This technique looks very interesting. Would love to know more! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). France Michel D’Anastasio.
