Some cool arabic calligraphy
As I was wandering the web avoiding grading doing some course prep for Arne and my course next semester on “Open Source vs. Proprietary Techonology: The Economics of Networks and Innovation” (a title only an academic could love!) I ran across a link on del.icio.us to a nice on-line collection of arabic calligraphy by Mouneer Al-Shaarani.
I figured WeatherGirl would want to check it out since she’s really into art based (sometimes quite loosely) on text and text-like figures. This calligraphy is nice, then, because it really shows the broad possibilities in (arabic) calligraphy ranging from very “traditional” to extremely abstract. Neat stuff.
Currently listening to: The way-nifty John Peel: A tribute 2 CD set that WeatherGirl’s mum gave me for Xmas. Any collection with both Lonnie Donegan and Captain Beefheart just has to be a lot of fun!
