I finished this art today and I'm very happy! It's a gift for some friends my family and I are seeing tomorrow, but they aren't on here so you all get to see it first.

The left shows a stylized drawing of James Acaster from the Great British Bake Off. Next to him are words in calligraphy with illuminated first letters. It says "Started making it Had a breakdown Bon appétit"

me: okay, brand new year, time to tackle everything I've been neglecting and stop procrastinating with pointless shit

#calligraphy

Written in rather meh English round hand script on a graph paper pad:

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

A black ink line art calendar page with insular calligraphy. There's a decorative 'J' where the tail forms a bird, lots of leafy vines swirling along the edges of the page to frame the numbered calendar days in the middle. There are lots of tiny snails on the leaves, and there's a little winged rabbit critter blowing a trumpet in the bottom left corner.

Close up of the rabbit critter. It's got a knobbly tail and tiny knobbly wings and a really long arm that's holding the trumpet.

Close up on the 'January' showing the J and the calligraphed insular script lettering.

Last update of my Igo Banzuke for 2025.
I've modified the title section to now include all the titles (not only the 7 main ones). I hope to come back to my calligraphy simulation algorithm in 2026.

#igo #ranking #nihonkiin #japanese #calligraphy #banzuke #algorithmicart #noai

A listing of all the Nihonkiin Japanese Igo professional players with their ranks and titles, in a style inspired by the Sumo Banzuke. The listing is divided into blocks (title holders and each Dan level) arranged into two columns around a central one containing the title and date. Each name is written top to bottom, in Japanese. The central column uses a light gray ink, while the ink for the names is black. The style of the calligraphy for the names varies depending on the level to emphasise the strength of each player. The image is rendered with a software simulating handwritten brush calligraphy of Japanese kanjis.

A quick little piece before heading out this afternoon.

Measures 135 x 150mm, ish.

Edit: Sold!

The text is calligraphed in red ink, Blackletter script, and the big R is filled with blue watercolour, outlined in gold and with gold criss cross lines runninh through it, with a little green leaf in the middle and some black line art leaves growing from the stem.

I found a lettering artist on Insta, a place I don't usually go. It got me to thinking (again) about the relationship between lettering, calligraphy, and graffiti. It's an almost interchangeable venn diagram.

Anyway this person's work is gorgeous. https://www.instagram.com/botutype

At the top of the page is the date and notes on the nib, nib holder, and ink used.)

Attended a #SealCarving class. I chose the characters, our teacher Robin Loeng designed it in bronzeware script, an ancient #Chinese writing style that was used on bronze vessels for important historical records and spiritual ceremonies, and then I carved it myself. It was really meditative, just like #calligraphy is. I'm looking forward to trying again in the future.
畅想 (chàngxiǎng) means to give free rein to one's #imagination, to think imaginatively, to envision freely.

bottom of Chinese seal after being carved. 畅想 (chàngxiǎng) is carved in old bronzeware script. The shape of the seal is somewhat oval. In the background, we can see the instrument that is used to hold the stone in place while being carved.

Several items in the picture. First is a piece of paper with the seal imprinted in red ink, and underneath the word calligraphed in current traditional Chinese using black ink. Top left of the piece of paper is the seal. The stone has a cone shape in beige color with darker veins. It has Chinese characters carved on it, which are my Chinese name and the year it was carved. Top right of the paper is an open box containing red cinnabar seal paste. The container is made of white porcelain with a blue dragon drawn on the lid. Those 3 items are laid on top of a grey felt mat.
