Memento Mori


A ink drawing, or ink painting, whichever terminology you like. I've been learning Chinese ink brush techniques. The process involves repetition and memorization of certain strokes and idioms. The point being, once you get it into your very body, you can do whatever you like with the forms, like free jazz. Of course, I was a very bad person and did not much follow them. My teacher says... the Asian cultures, they find beauty in copying, in playing someone else's music. Americans, we all want to be composers and write our own music. I am somewhere in between, I think.

Sorry for the low quality, it's just my cell phone.
