Choi Min's Calligraphy & Painting Gallery


This is my portfolio of both "Scrolls" for SCA use and attempts at painting and other crafts.  

Most images will eventually be clickable, with a progress-photos/blog post behind each link, with more detail pictures.

My first scroll for the SCA was done in the autumn of 2021, and I specialize exclusively in East Asian style scribal works. If you are interested in my calligraphy for the SCA scribe class, it was submitted as part of the Known World Heraldic & Scribal Symposium 2023 Proceedings, and should be online eventually, and hopefully plans to get a video version will work out soon.
