Fishead,

Have you studied Korean or Chinese calligraphy, or tradional painting? I tried Seo-ye (Hangeul calligraphy) for awhile but it was more fun just to play with shapes in the ink, rather than try to perfect my oblong circles and tilted hi-eut's.

Anyway, I really like the black ink on white paper. What subjects do you paint?
No I haven't. In fact I haven't taken a single lesson. I just picked up the black ink and paper in Insuldong and applied what I remember from a water color course to it.

I've done figurative work and landscapes. Despite it being such a traditional medium you can make some really contemporary style stuff with it. Its best to stay away from bamboo sticks unless you want to just reinvent the wheel.
