There is a market for skilled work like this. Like silk ink patterns for one.

Local flavor from my area

I did not make that. But it is just a generic chicano drawing, probably done in prison.

Those Owl's were really nice.

Thanks for the links rokytnji. I have a few idea's like Wedding Stationary, Menu's for Resturants and maybe painting on those porcelain masks. I painted a porcelain mask once for a gift. I might consider trying my hand at it again.

A smallish medium, since it is a book on page-size paper. If writing on large paper, such as a scroll, sign or banner, one might use small, medium and large brushes. I once used a brush with the writing end about two inches long and the shaft was a foot-and-a-half or two feet long! That was interesting. (Chinese brushes are made with horse hair by the way. Or at least most of them. There are probably exotic brushes with other kind of hair.)

I found a Chinese Calligraphy brush set on Amazon.
It's a start:-

If you live in a city with a China Town, you can get brushes easily.

Just another idea. Have you considered using your brush and calligraphry skills for Holloween/Day of the Dead
facial mask makeup as a quick money maker?

The design in the first link was AWESOME, thanks!

The Toyota emblem with the horns and pitch fork made me smile. That's original.

I have painted porcelain masks in the past but haven't given thought to painting kids faces for Halloween.
That's a cool idea.
