| This one of several bird forms I created for a client, reading "Shalimar." This is part of the zoocalligraphic tradition of using Arabic calligraphy to form the shapes of animals. For those not familiar with the script, note that the word is still quite readable. | |

| The Arabic Script is the basis for one of the richest calligraphic artistic traditions in the world. The script is used in various forms to write Arabic, Persian (Farsi), Urdu, and several other languages. Historical forms, such as kufic, maghrebi, diwani, tuluth, nasta'liq, shekasteh are joined by a flourishing vocabulary of contemporary forms. Calligraphy commissions are welcomed for a wide range of uses, from body art to marriage certificates. To learn more, CLICK HERE |
