Incredible Calligraffiti By Tolga Girgin

on Behance | Instagram 

Tolga Girgin is  a Turkish graphic designer and electrical engineer who experiments with calligraphy. He works as an electrical engineer at a company in his home town of Eskişehir, Turkey.

But Girgin also has a way with calligraffiti, an art form that blends traditional calligraphy with graffiti art, pioneered and named by Dutch artist Niels Shoe Meulman. His latest pieces involve a number of 3D lettering pieces that use shadow and perspective to make it appear like the letterforms are lifting off the page.

To be read as if it was slam poetry, slowly with building momentum

When I was younger, I used to wonder, why we planted trees that weren’t fruit trees.  Why alder instead of apple, oak instead of orange, cedar instead of cherry?  It wasn’t till later, that I learned, that, sometimes, people do things without expecting anything in return.

Yesterday in one of my classes I got a student to come up and scribe on the board

And he was very careful about how he wrote on the board, like, making sure his handwriting was neat

And one of the students was like ‘LOL OCD’

And all of the students starting cracking up, so I was like

‘HAHAHAHA MENTAL ILLNESS IS SO FUNNY’

And everyone fell silent

yeah that’s what I thought

I’ve recently decided to freeze myself to -273℃. My friends think I’ll die, but I’ll be 0K.

From the Streets of Brownsville, Brooklyn to the Oval Office

A couple of weeks ago, a photo of 13-year-old Vidal appeared on Humans of New York, a popular blog. He talked about his principal Ms. Lopez, saying: “She told each one of us that we matter.” After garnering more than 1 million likes and shares on social media, the photo gave rise to a national campaign that has raised more than $1 million for Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a middle school in Brownsville, Brooklyn — the neighborhood with the highest crime rate in New York City. The funds will send students to visit Harvard, support summer programs and provide scholarships.

Their story inspired people all around the country, including the President.

What began on the streets of Brownsville, Brooklyn made its way to the Oval Office. Today, Vidal Chastanet, Nadia Lopez and Brandon Stanton, the Humans of New York creator and photographer, sat down with President Obama to share their incredible story.

Make deals with the devil while you’re still a child. Contracts signed by minors aren’t legally binding and if satan tries to take your soul he can be prosecuted. Enjoy your perfect grades and lifetime supply of chocolate.
