I had to look for it myself... You go to "Profile" at the top next to where you can Logout yourself. Then to account settings. But here's the shortcut if you're already logged in: http://www.orientaloutpost.com/forum/ucp.php?i=profile&mode=reg_details -Gary. Thanks, I must have been looking right a...

If you want to save money (the ink in the tins is the cheapest), I like Yinni 682 (note, Yinni is not the brand, though westerners think it is, yinni just means "stamp clay" or "ink mud"). You can find it on eBay for about $4-$5: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Calligraphy-Red-Ink-Paste-Chinese-Yinni-Pad-3...

Gary,
If I want to change my password, where do I find the profile page?

Gary, Do you have an ink for seals (chops) that produces a better impression than mine. I bought my ink from a supplier in California that gets their ink tins from China. However it takes a lot of 'doing' to get a good impression, repeated tries, repeated dips into the ink, etc. Then I find out that...

I received a weird e-mail saying it was a direct message from Twitter claiming to be Oriental Outpost. I absent-mindedly clicked on it and it went nowhere. I am currently running extra scans on my computer.

The first link is for the Biu-Tze that you presented. I labeled it in Hanyu-Pinyin as "Biao Zhi". The second link will help you customize and order "Chum-Kiu" which I labeled "Xun Qiao". I have to use proper Mandarin Hanyu Pinyin or English for those titles, otherwise, somebody in my little worksho...

Gary, OK, I would like to order one vertical portrait of Chum Kiu (Arm seeking Form), extra small, plain mocha brocade, plain white paper, regular script, no inscription. According to your system, it costs $56.88. I would also like one just like the above description, but saying Biu Tze (Thrusting F...

Hello Gary, I am thinking about getting some small scrolls or portraits done on pure white rice paper of some terms for Wing Tsun forms. Siu-Nim-Tau (means Little Idea Form) Chum-Kiu (Arm Seeking Form) Biu-Tze (Thrusting-fingers form) These terms come right out of my instructor's book "Wing Tsun Kue...

Gary,
It looks very good! Thank you!

No worries. I send the blemished one yesterday before I even heard back from you. It was kind of a no-brainer solution. It should be there tomorrow. -Gary. Gary, Thank you for the fast scroll delivery and the replacement! I presented the scroll in front of my class. The reaction was great! I heard ...

Actually, I have one here, but it did not pass my inspection, so I'm having a replacement made for you. I'm crazy about quality, so a minor paper flaw is not acceptable. Do you want me to send this blemished one now so you have something to present? Then I can ship the good replacement when it arri...

Barring any unforeseen events, I'll rush this for you at no extra cost, and make sure it's there in time. This is your 12th order, so I think rush service on calligraphy is always free for you from now on. If I ever had a "Calligraphy of the Month Club", just you and maybe ten others would join the...

That's something new I'm trying with a marketing company. You just share Oriental Outpost on your Facebook account (Twitter and email are also options). When a friend clicks on your share, you and the friend get a 12% coupon code in your email. You can do that by clicking on the graphic that appear...

Gary,
On my order today for a scroll with the word "Dragon," I need it by August 5. Is that going to be a problem with normal U.S. Priority Mail that I selected? 4-5 weeks feels like I am cutting it close.

Gary,
The 12% discount coupon and code came up on my order today but i am not prepared to use it just yet. I removed the box and did not copy the code. I thought I could call it up again. silly me. That wouldn't work for the issuer! Can I get another code?

No worries. I'll send the exact image that you posted here to Master Xing An-Ping so we are sure to do it precisely the way you want it. You have quite a collection of calligraphy wall scrolls now. I wish I could walk through your martial arts studio (maybe I can some day since you're just over the...

Yes. You can select square seal script for the project, and reference this image or forum post in your special instructions. I can include the image with the order details to Xing An-Ping, so he knows which character versions you want (there are tons of alternate forms from the seal script era). -G...

Hello Gary,
Can I have the master calligrapher Xing An-Ping do an exact as possible selection from one of the samples you provided in square seal script. I would start with the one attached. Thanks.

Gary, In the photo I have attached, the words Wing Tsun are carved into the top part-front along with a carving of a fist over it. Is this calligraphy anything unique or is it standard ancient seal script? Thanks, Keith Sonnenberg Mesa, AZ Gary, Thank you! The display of so many seal script styles ...

This is something I struggle with continuously. Virtually all the materials we use are handmade. The batches of silk are made on an antiquated loom, and then dyed by hand (the dye is mixed by sight until the color is about right). The paper takes over a year to make. This is mostly because the pulp...

Gary, Here are photos of the replacements, attached, in square seal script that you sent me for the words "wing chun." They are good and I am happy. Can you supply details of why they are a bit different other than the different color materials I ordered? Thanks, Keith Sonnenberg Gary, Thank you. I...
