"I don’t really feel I have that 'unique' style, but I’m in love with script and flourishes since actually I began with copperplate calligraphy at first," Dexa Muamar told Lettering Guy. "The way the letters connect is something special for me, and I can play with the flourish of course. And for now I feel more comfortable drawing at small scale. [It’s] usually at 3-4cm in width."
Meet Dexa Muamar, an Indonesian artist who intricately letters meaningful phrases on the micro scale. Titled "Tiny Masterworks," these drawings are at present just a hobby for Muamar, who is finishing a BA in Economic Development. When Lettering Guy asked Muamar what drives him to lettering, despite his other pursuits, he replied:
“I think letters is the way to reveal our thought about something that happens around us, like me, I like to [write] quotes [that reflects someone’s] incident/case. I rarely bring motivation quotes, i love the “truest” quotes that has an impact on us. Besides that, making letters kinda been therapy for me, you won’t get the “good letters” just by in short time, I love how we strive to pursuit it”

It's a common thing for dudes in Indonesia to have one nail longer than the other. Either it is thumb (taking from Hindu character, Bhima) or pinky finger. There is no clear explanation why the other selection is the small finger tho.

thats good, it means you have to learn more about yourself, start this process of selfknowing and you will be much more self-confident, and what is best thing about it, you build personal integrity, what is one of the main points of growing and life

I followed this excellent advice, but some a*****e policemen called it rape or some nonsense. They didn't seem to like me very much so I f****d them too. I can't believe how intolerant some people are :(

Add "be" after "born to" Add"-ing" to "stand" It can be read as: born to be standing out OR born to be outstanding Just a suggestion ;3
Irim Sarwar 9 years ago
No, that doesn't really work. The sentence flows better here because of the parallel structure. No one is born to be outstanding - but they are born to stand up and stand out as themselves.

well, it's pretty and all, but it's not really fortunate to use so many font types in the same text. Makes it much harder to read and well, kind of annoying.

This is good, but I think it would be more inspirational if the quote was oriented at learning by your mistakes. It's all experience that's there to make us stronger and wiser.

But sometimes you can't learn. Sometimes it is a one off and you can't redo. Cause hell its like saying " I will try fighting this cancer. If it kills me next time I will try harder" sometimes trying is all you have.

Love this one. Some people get so down on themselves when they fail. It's important to remember that at least if you tried and failed, you still tried instead of doing nothing and regretting it later.

i agree with Karen. "its" is a contraction for it is. It's in need of apostrophes.

To all those saying "you can't read cursive", I had trouble reading it as well. The flourish to the 'xpl' in explain is rather confusing. Plus, I thought this guy had a problem with math at first. Seriously, how hard is pi to explain?
Claudia Velo 9 years ago
why are all the apostrophes missing??? it's the same in every one that should have an apostrophe
Tui Wise 9 years ago
It's sad how many people probably can't read these because they never learned cursive. Though admittedly the 'P' in explain did throw me for a sec.
Daria B 9 years ago
I did learn cursive and I can read these mainly, but this quote and another one on the list are a bit too "fancy" to read. Which is a typical mistake many cursive lovers do. Beauty over functionality.

Because people having trouble reading the beautiful font, it says, "It's funny how sometimes the people you'd take a bullet for are the ones behind the trigger"

Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. So always go full out.
