/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.

I agree with the blue collar workers saying she is popular because of her looks. I think most of us could spend a day with one of these grinders and produce the same thing but not get anywhere close to the same attention.

Criticism?
Can I please get some constructive criticism, or advice on making things flow a little easier? I feel like I get into it then something happens and it starts looking forced.
2nd attempt with a paintbrush until I get paid to get some pens and markers.
I’m open to whatever anyone has to say, I can take it 😂
