Using brushes he fashions himself out of the grasses and reeds around him, Chinese artist Wang Mansheng's large ink paintings on silk scrolls imagines the world without humans and the damage we've done. The interesting imperfections the brushes create as they're used add something more organic to the landscapes that factory-produced brushes can't.

@bookgaga I kept getting stuck on the first chapter, then decided not to worry about taking in every detail and just go with the flow. Then I found myself off in his world.
I hope you enjoy it, I'll be cheering you on!

And done. The flower at least, still needs the seam embroidery! I feel like I'm getting a handle on this thing.
Not a bird for onceI saw these reeds while walking to the office the other morning and doubled-back for a quick shot.
