Calligraphy and Hand-Lettering

You would need to use a solvent, but the type of solvent depends on the type of ink that is still on the pen. A safe, first step, would be to try water with a small amount of soap and let it soak over-night. The next would be alcohol, and then paint thinner (from least destructive to most destructive).

If you have access to an ultrasonic cleaner, that would speed the cleaning process.

Typography is the study of type. Currently it is computer-based, and deals with type from a publishing/art standpoint. For a given project, for example, this would include selecting the font, the spacing of the lines, and general layout of the writing. It may be helpful to distinguish this from calligraphy by remembering that typesetting used to be done by craftsmen using letters on metal pieces stamped by a machineand arranging them to be printed on a press. Calligraphy is the study of letters as art as well, but calligraphy is hand-drawn lettering, using specific types of pens. Calligraphy may also include designing new fonts. typography in italics typography in italics

You will have to pay over the top for one of his calligraphies because of who he is. If you searched the internet, you will find people taking pictures with him, although you will find there's more than one version of him! You're not allowed to take a picture with him unless you pay for one of scrolls. We were quoted RMB1,200 in October 2011 for the smallest one. We were also told we were extremely lucky as they guy was there only for a week upon the invitation of the present government. Turns out the guy is there every single day conning tourists.

Japanese calligraphy is based off of Chinese calligraphy and shares many of the same characters and means. In calligraphy paintings, both focus heavily on landscapes; however, the Japanese style is more graphic, and uses black outlines and has animated/personified qualities to its clouds and water.
