Lu Kesi

Lukesi (魯可思) is my name in Chinese. Chinese language seal with three red characters from right to left and then from top to bottom. The seal on the left was the first seal I ever made.

Since there was nowhere locally for me to get a seal carved I had to make my own and, because I didn’t have access to any seal stone, I used hardwood instead. I later wasn’t completely satisfied with it, and so reworked it as the seal on the right. They’re both the same size but look different here due to the way I scanned them (I’m still learning about images for the web).
