I hate the vectorial software, like Illustrator or CorelDraw, is to complicate for me :)Octavian Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14868731752817948871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644551197862545609.post-80011181444863042992009-11-20T07:22:41.022-08:002009-11-20T07:22:41.022-08:00I see..

Certainly, to add chinese characters or any form of words/phrase does add design to a whole artwork. :)<br /><br />Josh.JoshLabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769712787201460130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644551197862545609.post-86727127202311210082009-11-20T06:16:34.547-08:002009-11-20T06:16:34.547-08:00So I tend to sign things off with those characters...So I tend to sign things off with those characters.

Turning around, going into a new direction under communist rule, so to say.<br /><br />I read this in a journal from a American journalist, who was there during those times, when I was my self working in Egypt.<br /><br />Since going to Egypt was for me, certainly going into a new direction, which did do a LOT of good for me. I adopted the term. Being half Chinese they say it does suit me. =) Besides learning the meaning of Fan Shen I also learned a lot about a certain person I know. Was kinda weird reading and comparing.Knuckles930https://www.blogger.com/profile/00628200849627556142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644551197862545609.post-84722670531872795362009-11-19T18:16:26.008-08:002009-11-19T18:16:26.008-08:00Hi Knuckes930, wonderful job using illustrator!
