this morning's studies: small, ink drawings using a classical chinese method

These were done using methods taught to me at the old campus of Xi Bei Da Xue (Northwest University) in Xi'an city, Shaan Xi province, China.  The images were done with ink on paper and with a brush pen.  The stamp is an ancient Chinese text, and is something I had made while traveling through Dun Huang city, Gansu Province in August of 2002.  It reads right to left, "Kou Bing".  Roughly translated, "Icy/cold Pirate".  This was my first official Chinese name which has since been changed.
