I was lucky enough to work with Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls on reshooting her portfolio. Styling was a collaborative effort, but all the beautiful calligraphy and illustration is Maybelle's. Visit her redesigned site.

Japanese calligraphy for the New Year (2020). The author of this calligraphy is still in 12th grade, so she should be only 17 or 18 years old, but her calligraphy is so mature and powerful that it's hard to imagine that she is so young. This piece of work won the first prize in the New Year's calligraphy competition awarded by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan (Enryakuji Temple, Shiga/Kyoto, Japan).
Calligraphy set with 3 different ruling pens for experimental calligraphy and drawing. Developed by me to Papelera Palermo store.
(a beautiful box wraped with black paper calligraphied by me+a brochure with simple explanations+nut ink+paper wraped with transparence calligraphy paper+3 ruling pens by LUTHIS).

The man said he came from Shandong, China. He lost both of his arms in 2003 from an explosion. Because he did not want to rely on his parents for finacial support, he took up calligraphy.
Written with a long brush, Chinese Calligraphy is a form of aesthetically pleasing writing as well as an art form.

I used to do this sort of writing but haven't for a long time. I love calligraphy.
I do my calligraphy in this spot, light is what makes it so special.

I really dig this piece. I like the composition. I need to do more of these in the future. This is a test of my new Gothic typeface. More on the typeface later.
This was inked with a 6mm Pilot Parallel Calligraphy Pen. It was then computer processed to create the circular effect and add the centre S logo.
The repetition in design gives this piece some interest. And from a graphic design standpoint it is actually quite simple to create.
I have three different images to display this. Two are photographs of the printed work. This was a really fun piece to create.
If you are interested in Gothic Calligraphy, consider my three day LIVE course in Toronto at: torontocalligraphyguild.org/2014/04/18/learn-gothic-calli...
Sign up soon if you are interested, or pass this onto a friend. The courses are so much fun.
Cheers

This might take some effort to write. More, I think, than the sculpture. I seem to have developed a woolly-head and feel that my time may be better spent having a snooze. If the story turns into gibberish later on then I expect it is because I am resting my head on the keyboard but I wonder if anyone will be able to tell the difference from one of my regular stories?
After making the Leaf Lightning sculpture I wanted to employ that technique again. The black mud I found at that spot is such a wonderful material to work with and with day being unseasonably warm there was no other choice than to find a place for a canvas and follow my train of thought to it's destination.
As has happened before at this place a Peregrine Falcon sat on a rocky perch (not a fish) and looked over me as I got to work. I wasn't sure whether the mud would stick on something vertical but it gave me little trouble. I had collected some yellow sycamore leaves and my first thought was to do something similar to the leaf lightning design. I liked the style and how the colour seemed to flow almost like electricity from within and I thought a yellow fork aiming towards the roots would bring to mind something about energy (or summink) but as I prepared the leaves I selected only those with right angled veins and these lent themselves better to a different design. With the way each leaf ended in a point it reminded me of a calligraphy script or an old style printing typeface.
Now I was suprised that I was paying enough attention to notice this as most of my awareness was directed towards a common affliction at this time of year - having a soggy a**e. Each of the several times I washed my hands in the stream I wiped them dry on the back of my trousers and now the moisture had seeped through enough to bring on some unpleasantness. I thought you would probably want to know ALL the details.
Anyway...So as I said I followed the right angles in the leaves and created L-shaped sections. They stuck very easily to the mud, a bit like fuzzy felts, so I began doodling some ideas. At once the shape I ended up with seemed right and quickly the whole idea formulated in my head (my bum had dried out by this point) and with the visualisation I believed that everything would now be straightforward. But is it ever?!
I had collected quite a lot of leaves but only very few of them had right-angled veins. Added to that they varied in size quite a lot which meant that I wasn't going to be able to make them all symmetrical.
So I started to place them from the bottom to the top and as I approached the upper section the spacing was all wrong so I shifted them all up a bit. And down about, and up a bit again, and then down a bit and then up a bit some more and then down and then up. This went on for quite a while.
The tree was next to a tumbling stream with a large wall on one side so to get a proper look at it I had to cross over it, climb over the wall and then up a bank for a squint. I am finnicky to the point of driving oneself mental, which is ok if you are next to the sculpture and can tweak it close by. But now I had to tweak it, cross the stream, climb the wall to view it, then reverse the maneouvre to re-tweak (that's a technical term). Eventually I had worn a deep groove where I had walked and created a whole new stream. Geological erosion in action - I guess that might be land art too..
Eventually though, after several days had passed I was happy with it, I washed each leaf with some stream water to remove the mud and crossed back over the stream and wall to take some photos.
Ah, but I had left my camera remote in my bag next to the tree so I had to go back again to get it.
After another return journey I peered through the viewfinder only to see my rucksack and camera bag in the frame. Yes you guessed it I wasn't quite finished with the clambering. After moving my bags out of the way I returned to the camera and took the shots I needed.
"Right now for some close-ups. Where is my telephoto?"
I expect you can guess the answer to this question.
A bell went off in my head and I thought "hey maybe this time I'll go and get ALL my stuff and bring it over here, that would be a good idea wouldn't it?!"
Now I could portray this in a manly and dedicated way and say "I don't like to do anything the easy way - no-one ever achieved anything in life taking the easy road" but really it can be summed up with the word dumb-ass.
Having done enough exercise to last me a good while I packed up my gear only to find a ladybird had taken a liking to my rucksack and was clinging on tightly to a strap. Thinking that she would rather stay here in the woods I tried to gently pick her off. She then pulled really hard into the strap with her hooked legs, and emitted a yellow substance onto my finger.
I've never seen that before and I assume it would be a bitter tasting defence mechanism.
Of all the things I see, experience, learn about and enjoy whilst out and about I never, ever tire of those little things that are there for us all to find out about if only we would take the time to look. How interesting it is to be alive and what a wonderful world we all share. There is nothing better in life than being outside in nature, well, just being.
Ps. This was made for the Land Art Connections Project on 31/10/09 for the October theme "Halloween". Halloween has never meant much to me as a festival and I don't think this sculpture has much to do with it. But it was made on the day so is connected all the same, and will be to the other sculptures made on this day and, for me, that is what it is all about.
