Nov 12 Large Dot Grid Calligraphy Notebook

When is an Artist? everyone will have a different answer. So choose the answer that best serves you.
I have been playing with calligraphy since I was a kid, it’s probably the only art form I have (floatingly) consistently always stayed attached to, and have practised momentarily over the years. Compared to other forms of art which apart from junior school stuff, I have not really known until inspiration struck a few years ago.

This is a great example of what it takes in Art- to be at a level where you consider yourself an artist, (other peoples opinions will always vary).

I love …

Nov 11 Energy, a Sumi ink look at how we do it

NoooBooks

Sumi, Hardcover, Human Energy

Sumi-e is a Japanese word for a style of black ink painting.
Where portraying the essence (Ch'i) of Nature in an individual brushstroke, and placing emphasis on the beauty of each stroke, rather than to mimic realism, is a vital ingredient of Sumi-e.

This is an illustrated Art story (picture book for adults, not x-rated).
Each ink stroke evokes poetic imagery of the nature and energy of humans' being.

'Human Energy' illustrations are figurative spontaneous abstract art, they explore human energies such as love, life and dance. Each piece was titled with a corresponding mood, upon reflection of the series, the titles became a story and the story become a book, an art picture book.

We are happy to celebrate this deluxe hardcover edition of ‘Human Energy’.

Blinkies, Gilbert Pepper

It’s a fact, time flies as you get older, ok maybe it’s a shared belief but we do know it’s important to make every second count. We have to live our lives for us, with our busy and hectic lives sometimes we have to remind ourselves to take the time to chill- like it’s a Sunday, even if it’s not.
