Not everyone will become a calligrapher but everyone can become an artist.



Growing up I had always thought amazing artwork was online done by computer. Once I had witnessed that people can create such beautiful spectacles I made it my life’s mission to train my hands to do just that. From that point on my ambition and desire to learn calligraphy only grew. There a few resources available for English calligraphy, but there was nothing for Arabic. With the lack of instruction and support, I decided to take it upon myself to learn on my own.

Fast forward to a decade and a half later and here I am, a self-taught artist residing in the Greater Vancouver Area. Learning calligraphy was by no means easy. However, the lessons I learned on my journey taught me so much more than just calligraphy. Dedication, determination, and attention to detail are three things I never understood until I picked up a pen and started to write.


Traditionally Arabic calligraphy is very structured and disciplined art. For many it can be extremely overwhelming. Each letter is scaled based on the nib size of the pen. Not to mentioned it usually costs quite a bit to start learning calligraphy as well.

Grey Lines provides an alternative for those who just want to learn about the general concept of calligraphy and pen control. It eliminates the need to purchase expensive pens, inks, paper and other materials to get started. All you need is a normal permanent marker and any of the workbooks. 



I want to help inspire people to learn more about calligraphy. Using this workbook won't turn a person into an expert calligrapher. But, it acts like a stepping stone for people to become more interested in the art form with basic instruction. I wish I had someone who would have been able to show me all these things when I was a younger starting out. It would have helped me a lot more back then. The way I see it even if I could help ignite the passion for calligraphy in one person I know my job has been complete.


Each volume of Grey Lines focuses on a different aspect of calligraphy.




A lot of care and consideration went into making this workbook. Each aspect of this book was carefully thought through to ensure a successful beginning to your calligraphy journey.





With your support this won't be the end of Grey Lines but just the beginning. Having the resources available is just as important as having instruction and guidance. Workshops are definitely going to be next on the list. 

It doesn't matter how perfect you find something there's always room for improvement. The feedback that I'll receive from Volume 1 & 2 will definitely help improve Volume 3 & 4 coming up in 2019.
