In Lijiang, I spent one afternoon drawing my own T-Shirt with Wendy.

In Lijiang, it is a huge business to draw the Dongba characters on T-Shirt and sell the T-Shirts to tourists. It seems every 1 out of 3 stores have those T-Shirts. I suggested we buy some white T-Shirts and borrow the color and brush to create our own t-shirts. So, this is the whole story.

Wendy also draw another T-Shirt. She draws better than me.

The work took the whole afternoon to complete. There were too many people watching us drawing that they almost blocked the road.

Thanks. I enjoyed the time to draw a picture so much. Actually, I feel better when drawing than writing. :-)

In Shanghai there are this kind of shops where T-shirts with hand drawing are available. Even you can do it yourself, too.
I think it started much earlier in Lijiang. One of the interesting form of art in life! Fashionable also. Cool!
