One of my favorite artists & definitely my favorite Tumblr on creativity. I am inspired to track down a copy of Brunetti’s book Cartooning, Practice and Philosophy

Student work from Lynda Barry’s “What It Is” class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: Quick Ink brush drawings from the first session with using handground Chinese ink and a modified exercise from Ivan Brunetti’s “Cartooning, Practice and Philosophy”. 

From Wikipedia: Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. The earliest paintings were not representational but ornamental; they consisted of patterns or designs rather than pictures. Early pottery was painted with spirals, zigzags, dots, or animals. It was only during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) that artists began to represent the world around them.
