It's my last day before two weeks off, so yay! To celebrate, here's something for the #calligraphy nerds out there. Or 14157 is Silsile-i Hattatin, an #Ottoman #Turkish genealogy of calligraphers in Muslim-majority West Asia. 
We know that this work was created in the late 19th century because it presents a narrative of calligraphic practice that runs from the Prophet İsmail down to Ali Namık, who died in 1283 AH (1866-67 CE).
The text is complete with various anecdotes about the history of #calligraphy and the biographies of various calligraphers. My favourite part about the manuscript is the way that the author organizes the data and uses the pages, making the most of the flow of the text.
1/n) This announcement has been posted on the front door of the house of Chinese calligrapher and painter Li Jinshan @20203316biwang in Beijing a few days ago:
2/n) He is being forced out of his only home and art studio during the second wave of the #CCPVirus outbreak in Beijing, and soon to be 2000+ other families of the common people, or “old hundred names” as #SteveBannon always says.
3/n)After Li & other villagers had been fighting for their rights & properties for almost 3 years, Li had to abandon his house and beautiful garden that he had been tending to for many years.
Continuing the remake of my 2008 Element Wolves! Fire was first, now it’s water and when you put them together, the background connects :D I plan on doing this with the remaining wolves too~
