Oh, my... First of all, to be able to write the beautiful calligraphy; second to cut out the paper and leave the letters. That is truly amazing.

No, it's not Photoshopped, and no, it's not laser-cut. Some people are artists, and really do go to the trouble of doing this. I'ts done by hand, and that's what makes it so valuable. And the people who think it's machine-made can't understand the value of it; thus, the artist probably has a day job to keep herself in luxuries like food and clothes and housing.

"Artists are society's most important and valuable people. They help to direct society into new realms of possibilities."
