What is your favorite art medium? (If you have one)

I love charcoal pencils, I'm not really very good but it's calming and I like the look. Oriental calligraphy is another art form I used to enjoy. Made my own inks and ordered unique papers from all over the world.

Sounds very cool.

What did you make the ink out of?

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON It wasn't actually "making" the ink. My calligraphy set came with an ink block and "stick" A few drops of water onto the ink block then repeated rubbing of the block over the ink well would gradually produce the ink. You can look-up John Stevens calligraphy sets. In oriental calligraphy just the character of "A" has an entire philosophical meaning.

Each calligraphy master has his own trademark style so there are various ways the character of "A" can be represented.

Done on quality handmade paper makes for a nice, (simple) wall hanging especially if matted.
@Grateful4you Whoah!
That just blew my mind!馃榾馃拰馃枛

I love languages and I am fascinated by the evolution and interconnectedness of languages.
And what you said about the character A. Of course it makes sense, being an Oriental language.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Yes, I appreciate language, I once used to drive for a very wealthy college professor who once lectured me for saying, "Yeah" rather than a crisp "Yes" he said educated people would view me as being low-brow, pedestrian with no class.

I think I mentioned I also love symbols and how so many have universal meaning such as the symbol of the coiled snake etc. I'm not so careful about watching myself as I once was, it's just not as important to me what others think at this stage of the game.
