80 Calligraphers and Hand Lettering Artists to Follow on Instagram

One thing that I’ve discovered since starting to get more active on Instagram last month is that there is an endless supply of visual inspiration, particularly when it comes to hand lettering. You know I love that.

In celebration of hand lettering week here on Paper Crave, I’ve put together a list of 80 awesome calligraphers and hand lettering artists to follow. This list is by no means exhaustive, but if you follow these uber talented peeps, oodles of gorgeous hand lettering, illustration, and other pretty things will greet you each time that you pop on to Instagram. And who doesn’t want that?!

    Love, LOVE the calligraphy shown in this post. Beautiful & lots of options I wasn’t aware existed!

  2. kristen commented //

    So glad to hear this, Adrienne!

  3. Amy commented //

    Love this list! But the color used to display the @username is so light, I had a lot of trouble reading it..

  4. kristen commented //

    Thanks, Amy, and thanks for letting me know that you had a hard time seeing the usernames. I thought that others might be having the same issue, so I just switched all of the @username links to the default style. Hope this helps!

    A really nice list, but Seb Lester is one glaring omission!
