I love this! Ever since I saw some graffiti with arabic-inspired lettering by Atlas (in a book, i looked online for examples but couldn’t find any :-( ).
Any suggestions about where n00bs to this sort of thing could start? I love Arabic calligraphy, and would like to incorporate some of its style into my own works.
Thanks!
Alex
