5/9/2006: Record-setting letter

Undertoad · 05-09-2006, 11:50 AM

via 20 Minutos. We have a new record: largest letter ever written with a brush. Zhang Kesi, apparently a famous expert in handwriting in China, uses a giant brush here to write a Chinese character that means "dragon", in the Exposición Internacional de Horticultura (so the Spanish site calls it) of Shenyang, China.

Not sure what horticulture has to do with giant letters. But there you go.

I'm impressed that with the two loops in the final product, he didn't leave tracks on the paper.

It's just the angle of the picture. That brush isn't really coming out of his ass.

this is stupid! its just giving people the idea of making huge letters! one someone will make a letter so big, it will devour us all!!

xoxoxoBruce · 05-10-2006, 06:54 PM

At least it's one continuous line. Picking up that brush would be impossible.

Hi barckio, welcome to the Cellar.

One line??

That character is 18 strokes, by my count. Could only be 17 though.
