"What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaeity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity." --William S. Burroughs

Life is short, figure out what living means to you, it’s not something easily copied.
The mountains in Beijing are especially beautiful. I guess being in China means I should get some Chinese style in.
An attempt at ink painting, the reference. My oil pleinair learnings are somewhat transferable!

神無月 (kan-na-zuki) "October" (archaic)
The modern Japanese word for October is 十月 (literally "10th Month), however in the old-fashioned calendar is was known as 神無月, or "the month with no gods".
In October, all the gods in Japan (there are believed to be 8 million of them) go to Izumo Shrine in Shimane Prefecture for a meeting, thus leaving most of Japan with no gods.

Exemple de justification typographique avec l’abjad arabe qui est cursif et où donc le réglage de l’approche s’opère en ajustant la taille du liant entre deux lettres.
Le texte arabe utilisé à titre d’exemple est un dystique du Jadaka al ṙayṫ de Lisān al-Ḋīn ibn al-Xatib :
ضاق عن وجدي بكم رحب الفضا
لا أبالي شرقه من غربـه
Votre absence me rendit le cosmos si étroit
Que peu me chaut d’en distinguer l’orient de l’occident.
