About Natascha:

After finishing work as a graphic designer, Thomas discovered calligraphy late in life. He was a connoisseur of handwriting for many years, so it only seemed natural to finally discover and progress into calligraphy. He is a fan of both pointed pen and broad edge scripts and has currently been concentrating on tattoo commissions.
