About the design
The combination of Millenium and Mat Black Inks is most suitable for reproducing monotone pictures. But I applied them on brush letters as a graphical expression. I enjoyed watching Chinese characters warping into shapes I never imagined. I hope the slight differences of black ink will bring about good results.
