It's a pretty obsolete hobby, as we have computers and printers that can do the exact same thing in a fraction of the time. I know people do it as an art form, which is fine I guess, though you're not gonna sell prints, get published, or end up in a museum no matter how good you are at it.
Not really the point of a hobby to be better than computers or make money with it.

The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, "fine fining" menus, and corporate award certificates
