Studio Masgrimes

Masgrimes is a Portland-based calligraphy studio offering fine writing and traditional engrossing services inspired by historical technique and an affinity for fine craftsmanship.

I enjoy taking the time to understand each project that comes my way, researching and exploring ways to bring the history of writing forward into my contemporary work, and producing high-quality artwork that will last for generations.

If you’re dreaming of a special project that is near and dear to you heart, I’d be honored to discuss how I can help bring it to life.

Let’s make something that lasts »
