Niels Shoe Meulman














NSM is a Dutch artist who first coined the term Calligraffiti- a blend of calligraphy and graffiti. I love that he's taken an old world technique and fused it with a street artform.  He is also a performance artist who creates calligraffiti on a large scale. Here is a video he did with Mos Def for Louis Vuitton.

Monica Dengo







Monica Dengo is a calligraphy artist who goes beyond just writing. Her words are many times illegible but the gestures themselves are the art. She creates a style that is a hybrid of markings and words.

Maggie Taylor






Maggie Taylor was also one of the artists at the Annenberg.  She's a photographer who then takes her images and creates bizarre dreamscapes. With Photoshop, anything is possible as Maggie clearly demonstrates.
