Little fun challenge!
First attempt at writing the biáng character, which is a type of noodle in Shaanxi cuisine. Deemed the most complex "genuine" Chinese character with its 58 strokes. Full of flaws but not too bad for a first I guess.
Next challenge: an "artistic" character made of 172 strokes. Wish me luck!

Thought I'd give a small life sign. Along with my art, I've been getting back into calligraphy. Here are some (cheat) cursive 心 hearts for you all. My personal favourite is the little one in the top right corner.

Another older rabbit print, I made this linocut as part of my Chinese zodiac series. I wanted the rabbit to appear bathed in moonlight to allude to the myth of the moon rabbit, companion of Chang’e the moon goddess, continually pounding the elixir of life with mortar and pestle.

Tsingtao “青島” beer 🍺😋
“青島” mean Green Island is Chinese.
But in Japanese, “青島” would mean Blue Island 🤔 Interestingly, we often say “blue” for lush green plants, and the green traffic light is also “blue” 😉although we know the traffic light is actually “green”😏
