Schin Loong
Calligrapher at OpenInkStand, Las Vegas, Nevada
Hello!
My name is Schin Loong and I am the artist and calligrapher behind OpenInkStand Studio in
Las Vegas, Nevada.
As a professional illustrator with a BFA from Ringling College of Art & Design, I bring you 15 years of experience in combining lettering design with my distinct artistic vision.
Both my calligraphy and illustrations has been featured in various publications and recent celebrity clients include Mariah Carey.
As a published calligraphy teacher, I have taught workshops for IAMPETH (International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting), College of Southern Nevada and various calligraphy guilds in California, New York, Arizona, Hong Kong, and Las Vegas. My calligraphic art has been exhibited and in private collections in the United States and in Asia including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.
When not busy with nibs and brushes, I enjoy playing piano, knitting and fetch with my dog Wuffles. I love what I do and would love to work with you.
