Among the many tales told about Bodhidharma (aka T Among the many tales told about Bodhidharma (aka Tamo 達摩): one of the most popular, says he was admitted into the Shaolin Temple after 9 years of meditation in a cave and taught there for some time. However, other versions report that he "passed away, seated upright"; or that he disappeared, leaving behind the YiJinJing; or that his legs atrophied after nine years of sitting — why Daruma dolls have no legs. #daruma #bodhidharma #tamo #shaolin #shaolinmonk #kungfu #martiamonday #linkinbio #atigerstale #wuxia #cartoon #characterdesign

Let me thank @jedinitekrew.emperor’s mighty Web- Let me thank @jedinitekrew.emperor’s mighty Web-Fu for pointing me towards the legend of Bodhidharma’s shoe. He wrote about it for @kungfutaichimagazine - but you can find the direct link on the PLUGOarts Facebook page. “Shoes are deeply symbolic for all Shaolin practitioners. They invoke the legend of the founder of Shaolin Kung Fu and first patriarch of Zen, Bodhidharma (or Tamo in Mandarin.) Tamo is recognized by his shoes - or shoe, to be specific. In Asian art, if you see a monk with one shoe, it's Tamo. This stems from a legend about Tamo's death.” #linkinbio #shaolin #shaolinmonk #bodhidharma #tamo #shaolinkungfu #yijinjing #buddhism #martialarts #martialmonday #PLUGOarts #facebookpage

3 Oompaloompas. On the left: 1973 “Hippy Dwarf” version. On the right: 1971 “film version.” In the center: Roald Dahl’s originally problematic 1964 version. Why problematic? Well I was just writing about that. #linkinbio #fbf #oompaloompa #willywonka #race #charlieandthechocolatefactory #latinxheritagemonth #cartooning #illustration #copicmarkers #flashbackfriday
