#TigerTuesday webcomic FREE
In October of 1997 the first episode of Tiger’s Tale was published in the pages of Kung Fu Tai Chi (alternatively called Wushu Kungfu or Kungfu Qigong at the time) magazine. Some of you may even remember those back page features.
Two dozen years later The Graphic Novel approaches realization.
One of its secret origin begins here: https://atigerstale.com/a-tigers-tale-kans-secret/

Here's the Big Announcement!
When the artist you admire agrees to provide art for your project; that's something to be thankful for. When they offer additional art as prescription/inspiration - perhaps that project is on it's way.
or should I say 為?
You see, on the advice of others, it had been suggested that I find an artist of some renown to provide an alternate cover for my project. With a growing number of martial arts themed comics appearing this year alone, several comic artists immediately came to mind, but in keeping with the hidden spirit of A Tiger’s Tale, I felt it was more important to offer a cover created in the tradition of shu-mo hua (水墨畫) ink-wash painting. At the top of that list of artist was our Grandmaster Tu Jin-sheng. Not only has he made available one of his painting for use as cover art (to be unveiled in a future post) for the A TIGER's TALE graphic novel, he generously provided this second painting. Part inspiration, part prescription: the painting he provided is his interpretation of the Shaolin Muscle Tendon Change Classic (Shaolin Yijinjing 少林易筋經) what I'll be calling The Original Workout in this piece on aTigersTale.com
Attachment 10925
Working in collaboration with Grandmaster Tu we’ve printed a limited run of postcards using the Yijinjing artwork above as well as the secret cover art. Deluxe print are also in the works. Both will be made available to subscribers first (who’ve already had a glimpse of Master Tu’s cover art), then they will be offered to our general audience in the new year; Chinese New Year.
The subscribe it free and comes with all sorts of extra features.

as well as some practical training videos, like this one...

check it out.
I kept saying "I wouldn't call myself a Martia Artist"
And yet he kept describing me as one! Then I realized he probably thinks I'm being humbled and that the more I deny it the more I probably am! Either way I was doomed.
Surprisingly, I ended up sounding almost wise! Check it out.

We're trying to get your Forum Fu back up to snuff. Post Robin here too: November-December-2017. Like with Anthony (to remind you - Anthony-Kelly-Martial-Arts-World-Record-Breaker) those subforums have longer ttt longevity. This Martial Media one is the most active because here is where all the fresh news coagulates.
