I have an idea

Just saw the annual T-shirt for Board Test. Old9 put three different samples and ask for more suggestion. Okay, I think I got one.

The basic idea is taken from the famous Chinese-American artist Bing Xu. I've seen his scroll in MET last winter. It was a little impressed although I've known his works years ago. He simply deformed every letters in English into some main componets of Chinese characters, which we called 'Bu Shou'. Based on those altered letters, he put them into words by mimicing characters and then use these words to compose sentences, paragraphs, articles and so on.

Since we also use letters in our Pinyin system, it gives us a chance to deform the pinyin of '系统测试' , which is 'xi tong ce shi' into Bing Xu's characters. I've made a little effort on that, and the final version is not decided yet. Given 30 min break during this afternoon, I think I'll write or paint them out on a paper with my brush. Let me do it, and the sample is going to be posted here and also on USTC BBS test board later this afternoon.
