Tsang Tsou-choi - passion for calligraphy


I had never heard about him and sure very few were aware about him in India, but that just our unawareness about this intresting graffiti artist. Tsang Tsou-choi was named one of the city's ten least influential people in Hongkong. he claimed himself the king of kowloon (a province in hongkong) and lived unemployed and poor life. spent all his time in graffiti or calligraphy. we can say he was just born to be calligrapher and none else.Tsang, who worked as a laborer, claimed that his family owned the Kowloon peninsula, and spent his life staking its claim to it through painted declarations on walls, pillars and pavements all over town. he was an ordinary man expressed his resentment through graffiti and calligraphy. he could be a subject to discuss among graphic designers.

he died on 15 july 2007 and spent most of his last days with his brush and paper.
