You may want to do a google image search of the word sensei and maybe you can come up with more elaborate looking versions rather than straight up print.

edit: nevermind...you'd probably come up with too much extra stuff since it is a common word...

I've sent you a pic with the proper stroke order (in case you are trying to draw it). I'll look for a genuine calligraphy piece though.

There is a site online somewhere that translates from english to japanese and gives you the kanji.

Thats where I got my avatar before the management here moaned and made me take it down

Hmm...were you looking for "calligraphy" or just the characters themselves? In such case, what I sent you should be sufficient...I was thinking you were looking more for a "cursive" version of it. In that case, I'm still looking. (I've no confidence in my cursive skills)
