Abstract Calligraphic Art Creating art is not so much about following the structured lines, but finding self-expression in a playful artistic way. Firstly, from one practical first step of holding the brush upright and lightly in the fingertips, one enters the meditative process by allowing the qi to sink to the hara; while kneeling or sitting cross-legged on the floor, or sitting in a chair, or even standing.

Autorenporträt
Mark D Bishop has been an artist for over six decades. Whilst researching culture and arts in Japan during the 1970s and 1980s, he trained in Okinawan Calligraphy of the Jahana Unseki school, which is a fluid and playful form of self-expression through brushwork. On his returning to England, he began developing Abstract Calligraphic Art and expressing himself through this medium. Although this book represents a synthesis of Mark D Bishop's work in this field, it is also a step-by-step, fun way to help break free from convention; a how-to-do manual recording and reproducing the 'radicals' of the Chinese characters, the building blocks of Oriental calligraphy, as brushed by his main teacher Kiyohiko Higa.
