Ink on Rice Paper
These are a few of my ink drawings on rice paper. Way to big to get a good picture or scan... I will post a few more later...
My back tattoo
This is my back tattoo, done by my first boss in China.
The Chinese text is a 1,000 year old Chinese poem:
The Chinese text is a 1,000 year old Chinese poem:
When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.
I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.
I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.
Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.
Dancing with my moon-lit shadow.
It does not seem like the human world.
The moon rounds the red mansion stoops to silk-pad doors.
Shines upon the sleepless bearing no grudge.
Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?
People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart
The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane
This has been going on since the beginning of time
May we all be blessed with longevity though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.
