    Default Wanna see cool? THIS is cool.

    I just love creative minds: new take on calligraphy...

    Impressive! Illusions like this can be seen only form a particular angle!

    Thanks for sharing, Jon. That's absolutely amazing--and here I sit doing my level best to just make legible words with a fine nib
    Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
    At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

    That is excellent! The lettering itself looks quite simple to actually write but to have the perspective on how it will look and be able to translate that to the page takes real skill.
    Being a graphic designer probably helped there. Wowsers!

    I was going to question your definition of coolness, until...orange cream.

    I don't use the term lightly and I never use the term "awesome". Makes my skin crawl.
