It requires skilled eyes and hands for artists to render subjects by translating their personalities, physical traits and careers into a few well-executed lines. Having worked for such publications as The New York Times, The Guardian and Time Out London, Noma Bar is one artist capable of such visual feats. From famous celebrities such as Steven Speilberg to infamous ones like Michael Jackson, to cultural icons like Albert Einstein and Elvis, to political figures like George Bush and Saddam Hussein, Bar has made a career of creating unique caricatures through illustrations that rely on the power of association, and sometimes a bit of imagination. Stephen King has hatchet eyes; broken chains accent Nelson Mandelas facial expression; Joseph Stalins nose and mouth are shaped like the hammer and sickle. All of Bars faces exude the power of the visual, in that we recognize who they are through what they do.

Описание:
The Chinese language is traditionally taught through a series of between roughly 180 and 215 radicals. These radicals are then used to form the characters of the Chinese language. Chineasy has broken down this collection of characters into their most basic and recurring forms, allowing students to learn fewer and simpler radicals that we have termed building blocks. One building block, or a specific compound form of the building block can be combined with one or more other characters to make a compound character. Two or more independent characters can be placed next to one another to make phrases. In compounds, a whole new character is created; in phrases, the placement of characters next to one another gives a new meaning to the collection of characters. This principle of building blocks is what makes Chineasy so easy!
