Liquid Calligraphy © Ruslan Khasanov 

Ruslan Khasanov  is a remarkable illustrator and graphic designer from Russia. Born in 1987, Khasanov has gained international recognition for his mind-blowing types, which he creates using unconventional elements such as light reflections. I felt extremely honored when Ruslan generously agreed to compose the word ART  for Art is a Way,  using some of his unique types.

I admire Ruslan’s curiosity and sense of exploration. He has a gift for seeing beyond the obvious. This has allowed him to build a personal language that sets him apart from the crowd.

↑Rus created this type using ink, water and  paper. He had to take thousands of pictures to get the letters right for the complete alphabet, which you can see HERE. Read an interview about the making of this type on Behance.
