Hagakure

[Hito]

I was inspired to read Hagakure after watching GhostDog: Way of the Samurai and it inspired this image.

I made this it primarily to use as a guestbook signing on
BlackPlanet and AsianAve.
You can see the whole thing (http://www.darkervisions.com/bp/kns_hagakure.jpg) here.

I'm sorry i didnt mean to http://www.darkervisions.com/bp/headduck.gif

The technique i used was taken almost directly from a tute i found in the photoshop 6 down & dirty tricks book.
That is an awesome resource as is the WOW! book.
I have the url of a really great tute site that I will post here once i get my hard drive back in order.

And because I am black (http://www.darkervisions.com/betaz/shades1.jpg) http://www.darkervisions.com/bp/naughty.gif

Hito> I have a question about the term blasian... is it a widely used/accepted identifier?

[Hito]

From the people i have known who are mixed (Black and Asian) either they
have never even heard the term or they are proud of it.

A lot of the time tho they identify with one culture or the other.
Usualy Black since they cannot really pass for say Korean or Japanese.
Or like myself you cant really tell what they are just by looking.
We are "ethnically ambiguous" B)

Blasian's have a forum much like YW tho

Looks interesting, just wish that: 1) they weren't using free hosting (I hate pop up ads) and 2) that everything wasn't so much focused on relationships...

[Hito]

The general talk section does seem to be over shadowed by the
X who love Y forums beneath.

Relationships are important and all too tho.
But it is like well i dont have one so id dosent apply to me kinda thing.

Loos as if someone has come up with a site a bit more substantive but there membership is kinda lacking.

Sorry to have hijacked this thread with all the mixed asian talk, but a mixed asian forum will be coming to yw very soon:)
