/r/calligraffiti
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 Calligraffiti.
- Questions you have about equipment.
- Setups
- New toys
- 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.

Piece for a cocktail show
