Finally finished the family tree graphic I've been hashing out for Keōpūolani. I have no idea how I got started on the project in the first place, but hey.

ur doin it rong
May. 17th, 2010 05:57 pmFound in the checkbook design brochure from my new bank: the so-called "Eastern Expressions" series.
It includes one of the most pathetic attempts at 愛 that I've ever seen-- the only way I could even figure out what it was supposed to be was zooming the image and trying to read the blurry English gloss provided: "Love".
Two additional tidbits of hilarity:
1.) It's in the "bilingual" design section; most of the major check fields have (afaik) accurate Mandarin translations underneath the English. And yet.
2.) The design studio who created these checks is apparently headquartered in Vancouver BC, where they were somehow completely unable to find a qualified Sinographic calligrapher.
