    This is a GORGEOUS video on a very important American artist, but I can't get over the phrase "this high school dropout." I can't imagine anything more disrespectful to a man I am honored to know and call my teacher- a gracious, highly intelligent, and innovative individual.

      One of the best things a professor ever told me was that he failed out of college twice. That from the humblest of beginnings people can find their calling.

    Very impressive! It's hard to believe that this gentleman, with this magnificent and spectacular Arabic calligraphy, isn't actually a native speaker of Arabic.

      It doesn't actually matter if you speak arabic or not for an arabic calligrapher. You still can be a calligraphy, 50% of eastern calligraphers are non arabic speakers. Including me, my teacher, my classmates. Alhamdulillah we do well.

    I always thought arabic calligraphy especially the Muslim ones are very outstanding.. the word of Allah and Muhammad itself looks very beautiful and an arabic calligraphy without this two words looks like it's missing something..

    Arabic is a beautiful written language same how English looks better in cursive but arabic is on a diffrent level
    People who started writting on rocks didn't care about looks, they just wanted symbols. People with brush and ink like chinese and arabic danced with it
