Book Description
This is my first book containing drawings/cartoons or maybe some can be called an art-toon. All drawings have a story or memory attached with them of fiction or non-fiction Some are funny, strange, weird, eerie or food for thought. I let my brain dribble down to my hand so it could move some ink around on the paper. Id like to believe that this book will inspire others in creating their art and publishing the results of your efforts. There is so much talent out there. What is the gift you have to offer unconditionally without comparing your creations to other artists? Find your style, niche, or desire and draw, doodle, paint, mold, sculpt, design or whatever your medium of art is and produce it for the world to see. Art is wonderful, fun, appealing and life. Art it is all good.

Grant Morrison's 18 Days #1
Author: Grant Morrison
Publisher: Graphic India
ISBN: 1681243482
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
From legendary creator Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman & Robin, The Invisibles), comes the first chapter in his newest creation. 18 Days is the story of three generations of super-warriors, meeting for the final battle of their age, a climactic war that concludes the age of the gods and begins the age of man. "This is not a Lord of the Rings or a Star Wars where the good guys win because they are right. The good guys in 18 Days are forced to cheat and lie and break rules to win. Although it has fantastic, mythic trappings, this is a very modern story of realpolitik and the failure of ideals in the face of harsh truth." ¨C Grant Morrison

The Rise of Tea Culture in China
Author: Bret Hinsch
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442251794
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
This distinctive and enlightening book explores the invention and development of tea drinking in China, using tea culture to explore the profound question of how Chinese have traditionally expressed individuality. Western stereotypes portray a culture that values conformity and denigrates the individual, but Bret Hinsch convincingly explodes this facile myth. He argues that although Chinese embrace a communitarian ethos and assume that the individual can only thrive within a healthy community, they have also long respected people with unique traits and superior achievements. Hinsch traces how emperors, scholars, poets, and merchants all used tea connoisseurship to publicly demonstrate superior discernment, gaining admiration by displaying individuality. Acknowledging central differences with Western norms, Hinsch shows how personal distinction nevertheless constitutes an important aspect of Chinese society. By linking tea to individualism, his deeply researched book makes an original and influential contribution to the history of Chinese culture.
