I am a calligrapher and lettering artist, and I teach workshops to people who want to learn about brush lettering. I am also the founder and editor of a blog about calligraphy art where I post articles and tutorials related to the subject.

I have been working in this field for over 6 years now. I am available for hire as a freelance lettering artist or teacher. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have about this art.**

I wanted to share with you some of the things I’ve been working on behind the scenes. This is a new lettering project I’ve been working on. It’s a bit of art history meets calligraphy meets design. I’m calling it “Brush Lettering: Frequently Asked Questions.”

It’s based off of a series of letters that I created for my portfolio. These letters have been really fun to work on and play with, so I decided to create an entire alphabet out of them. I’m using these in my daily work as well as on this blog, and they’re also available as prints and weathered wood signs through my Etsy shop.

1. Why are your brush lettering prices so expensive?

The short answer: Because it takes me a long time to create a piece of art this intricate. I don’t always have time to take on custom pieces, but when I do, I charge accordingly.

I’m not trying to make money off of my artwork, I’m trying to feed my family and pay the bills. If you think my prices are too much and that you can do better, by all means, hop on over to etsy (or wherever) and start your own business. You’ll probably have a lot less overhead than I do and you’ll never have to worry about maintaining your certification either.

Calligraphy is an artistic method of writing and/or a typeface and style of lettering. Calligraphy is essential for the proper interpretation of many scripts, including Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and for Tibetan Buddhist scriptures and the Gathas of Zoroastrianism.

The word “calligraphy” is also often used figuratively to refer to fine-lined artwork in general. It is a type of drawing, decorative handwork on paper using a broad tip instrument. It has been practiced in all cultures.

And as an independent art form, it is called calligraphy or calligraphic art (or just calligraphy). It is categorized as one of the arts in the seven categories of fine art in France and the United States. In China, the Huangshan Mountains had historically served as a famous center to study and produce calligraphy.
