Steve Czajka blogs about calligraphy in GIMP. Once a week he shows his newest work (like the one here) and writes a tutorial about what he has done. I have just skimmed this site – and I am impressed. The combination of manual skill with pen and paper and the processing with GIMP and Inkscape give really impressive results.

The image on the right has another important quality. Several elements in it come from different artists who have licensed their work under Creative Commons. By sharing their work they enable others to use it further and in new combinations.

Next week I’ll post another little bit here. It will be a challenge for you and you will need a tie.
