Leigh Reyes Water Ink Video

[SamCapote]

I keep losing the threads where this video is mentioned, so I thought I would start a thread in her name. I think I could watch this every day for at least several years. Her blog is here, and always with something new: http://www.leighreyes.com She makes me think about art in nonverbal ways, which is probably best, because any thoughts I have about art revolve around the words "I can't.". I think Leigh (who I don't know except from her posts) is one of those people who makes the earth a better place.

Germany signed the Sony law, so I can't see that video, it has music that ain't pre'66.

I love her videos and calligraphy, and follow her on Twitter and Instagram.

we in the fountain pen network-philippines (FPN-P, now about 200-strong online) have the privilege of having had leigh as one of our founding members and stalwart spirits, and not only is she exceptionally gifted (she just became CEO of her advertising firm) but she's one of the warmest, sweetest people you could ever meet. she was in our christmas party last saturday and everyone was queueing up to get her to sign their notebooks

How happy I feel after viewing that! :clap1:

 

Thanks SC! She's gifted to say the least.

If you are a Joni Mitchell or Sarah McLachlan fan, this is another inspiring "Leigh" art video.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Leigh in person when she came to NYC. She is as wonderful in person as her videos are to watch. Love her stuff.

 

 

 

She has some amazing pens also!!

I always enjoy Leigh's art and videos. I like watching calligraphy as performance art. Set to music it is a dance (ref. Bo Bo Olson's signature).

Puts a whole different spin on feeling "blue"!

Thanks, SC!

It looks like she films these videos herself too. Amazing coordination to do it while writing so beautifully.

I think her work is amazing! I find her calligraphy very inspiring.

Try this one:

 

Works in Hamburg, so it should work in the rest of Germany as well ;-)

Yeah that is another one too. Not the same as the first, but also delightful.

I wanted to start off the new year with something happy and inspiring. Thought of Leigh's videos again. So powerful, they are.
