Armenian artists, designers, illustrators, calligraphers and print shops in Los Angeles.
Armenian visual tradition did not stop at the illuminated manuscript, though you can still see its line in a lot of work being made in LA now. This category covers working artists selling original pieces, designers taking commissions, calligraphers who letter in Armenian script, and the print shops that produce invitations and signage for the community.
Agree the scope in writing before any money moves: dimensions, medium, number of revision rounds, delivery date and who owns reproduction rights afterwards. Most artists take a deposit of a third to half up front. For a portrait or a commemorative piece, allow considerably longer than you think, since this is rarely anyone’s full-time schedule.
If you need Armenian script lettered, whether for an invitation, a sign or a tattoo design, go to someone who actually reads Armenian. Classical and reformed orthography differ, decorative display faces are not script faces, and a letterform error is obvious to every Armenian who sees it and invisible to everyone else.
