Stroke of Genius

I've been lucky enough to practice my calligraphy skills with Alexey Shirokov, Soolip in West Hollywood's resident calligrapher. A former scribe for the Russian government, Mr. Shirokov is stern but patient and a perfectionist and I am very lucky to have him. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be a 16th of what he is.
