I was tired of cheap pens that always seem on the verge of running out of ink!
I'd like to try some #englishcalligraphy but I'm scared to buy some #calligraphy sets because I have no consistency and think I'd might buy it and not use it at all, what do you think about it?

Been doing some painting today ^.^

Calligraphed in green ink,

Behold the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren.

There's an illustration of a barren field with a sparse tree and fence beneath. The piece is surrounded by a border of leaves and flowers in repeating patterns, coloured in blues, greens, and reds.

I love this beautiful tome of #calligraphy from the 1500s, the Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta ("Wonderful Monuments of Calligraphy"). A compendium of writing styles later illuminated with #fruit and #insect drawings.

The scans are super high res but... wonky, so I decided to clean them up and post them suitable for prints. Because the public domain scans are so high res, you can get huge prints. Also mugs, stationary, stickers, puzzles, etc.

I can't remember what this quote is from - Lost, maybe Sayid? Edit - no, it was Mr Eko ^.^

Calligraphed in insular script in greenish-brown ink;

'I did not ask
for the life that I was given
But it was given, nonetheless
And with it, I did my best.'

The calligraphy pen is resting on the paper.

"Their [calligraphers'] handwriting, if you think about it, really defined the character of the neighbourhood." — Billy Potts talking about his Hong Kong Ghost Signs tour in Kowloon City

Four-panel sign with each panel filled by a fading Chinese character. The sign is photographed below and appears to straddle a narrow street. Behind our, a large building with many floors and windows visible fills the frame.

This was going great until I dropped the brush with gold paint next to the writing on the right just before finishing, then scuffed the paper trying to get it off XD Mostly fixed with white gouache, I should have started with that!

It's A5 size. £25 GBP, includes worldwide shipping, DM me if you want it :)

Calligraphed in teal-coloured ink in insular script, and with a big ornate 'O' filled with black ink patterns and surrounded by gold;

'One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bringthem all
And in the darkness bind them'

The box that the 'O' is in has bars extending from the top right, and bottom left, wrapped in black ink line art curling vines.

Angled close up on the O showing the patterns inside the letter - black ink flowers, leaves, dots, and swirls - and the texture on the thick gold paint surrounding it, catching the light. There's a lighter silvery-gold in another narrow frame around that, too.

Close up on the two rough bits of paper re-painted white where I dropped the brush

Here is the same written more cleanly
perhaps 3cm in width.

'unfortunate taste,
[echo] smell-
goblins'

in surfneblin, a gnomish script variant,
as above image.

Symbols in teal ink attached by lines for each word or group.
Same as replied to image, but cleaner, and says 'goblins' as the last word.

'unfortunate taste
(unfortunate[repeat]) smell
goblins.'

written poorly in surfneblin, 'surface-neblin,'
a variation of svirfneblin, based on meklevelvin, a gnomish script.
Surfneblin is useable as a geblin relex, considerably extended with [hundreds of?] conjunct characters.

This gnomish system of writing to be described in
gebllin and scripts of the fey wilds, unfinished release.

Ink and distilled water on a brush.
