Calligraffiti = Calligraphic lettering influenced by graffiti and handstyle writing methods.
This month's inspiration:
R/CALLIGRAFFITI
Come here to post:
- Street art inspired by calligraphy, calligraffiti, or calligrafuturism
- The work of contemporary Calligraffiti artists.
- Your own Calligraffiti.

- Questions you have about equipment.

- Anything else calligraffiti related that I forgot to mention.
CALLIGRAFFITI AMBASSADORS
The Calligraffiti Ambassadors Site is a good place to visit for inspiration. These team members were promoted by Niels "Shoe" Meulman as the representatives for the art form, as he puts his time back into his work with calligraffiti and other art. Visit Unruly Gallery to check that out.

Advice for a beginner? WIP
This is my biggest calligraffiti project so far. I could use some advice for the shading and in general to progress as an artist. I know I’m supposed to shade as I go but I wanted to get the base done first and then tape over the layers as I shade? Here’s some things I could use tips on :)
- Spray paint brands. Smoothest spray with less splattering since this is smaller scale
- Calligraphy. I’m assuming each font of calligraphy is unique and different to each individual artist? I came up with this font by my self but I’d love any advice as to make it more squished together and to look more like it’s a different language.
- Paint pens/brush technique? What is your favorite tool to use to create the calligraffiti effect. One day I hope to step up to spray paint on large scale projects! But as of now I’m in an apartment with a paint brush.
- Any advice from one artist to another to improve my skills in this craft!
Thanks so much!!
