VEC brush calligraphy is also suitable for works of poetry, such as this haiku by Scott Reid. The options are truly limitless!

Declaration of Independence

Vertical English brush calligraphy works for longer works of writing too! This work, created in 2011, shows a 36-word excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. VEC's can truly be created for all English words, complex or simple.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” (From the Declaration of Independence).

"I Have a Dream"

Here's another example of VEC used for longer works of English. This 51-word excerpt is from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. This work was created in 2010.

“I have a dream that one day, every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.” (From Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream").

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

This work shows the bold style of VEC brush calligraphy, created in 2008.

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience, and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” (From The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article I).
