Super cool Chineasy character illustrations.

I like them a lot, but am admittedly a bit torn on some of them as teaching tools. Although not all chinese characters are pictographs (symbols that are drawn to look like the things they represent), some are - as easily seen above with kou, the mouth, and ren, the person.

Nu, the woman, is also a pictograph - but it’s meant to represent the entire figure of a woman, head, limbs, and torso, not just the face. If you ignore the drawing around it and just focus on the character strokes, I think you can easily see her.

If characters already have pictographic roots, I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to create new ones. Particularly when other, more complex characters may later incorporate those same pictographic roots to make a new meaning - creating new ones could unnecessarily confuse a learner.

Your smile brightens my life, your love sustains my heart, and your beauty still takes my breath away.

The Masks we wear

Why does the Skull-kid wear the mask?

The mask helps him hide his pain and loneliness

The mask gives him confidence

We all wear masks to hide our feelings and vulnerabilities

We are all Skull-kids

Love

Love is a flower

it is beautiful and full of life

take care of it and it will grow strong and produce fruit

Love is a flower

neglect it and it dies

slowly but surly it decays it fades to ash

M 24 09 -Let go

Tears pour down my cheeks

like rain drops on a windshield

in the heavy storm of night

puddles of my broken heart fill the creases of my face

The cold numb feeling grasps my soul

my body trembles each time I hear

those words they echo in my ears, like a bell so close it’s all I hear

those powerful words traped in my ears

Kotobukiya’s Tali Statue Reminds Us We Still Have A Year To Wait For The New Mass Effect

Kotobukiya’s Tali statue reminds us we still have a year to wait for the new Mass Effect

Kotobukiya makes some pretty nice statues and figures and I’d know – I’ve bought several of them including two of their DC Comics New 52 line. They’re not super expensive but feature quality that would make others think you paid far more than you actually did.

Continuing their Mass Effect line-up is Tali which is set to release February of next year. Pre-orders will be opening soon.
