Alphabet Love: Luca Barcellona

It is not too often that you get to see calligraphy artists in action. I found this video where the Italian calligrapher Luca Barcellona is caught working over a blank canvas. Very easy when you type anything on your keyboard, but it goes to the other extreme with just a felt tip marker and white paper. Somehow I always picture calligraphers like old monks illuminating bibles in some old monastery...not at all the case here. Enjoy the beautiful calligraphy of Luca Barcellona!

Illustrating the Street: Escif

This street artist from Valencia, Spain is a graffiti master. His images are gloomy and with a bit of grim but somehow they remind me of the children's books my mother used to read to me when it was time to go to bed. I find very interesting how he transformed the urban environment into a storytelling experience (and got caught by the police several times...guess the life of a Graffiti Artist is not easy). Enjoy Escif!
