「自由約」十大回顧 #9文龍 ＠青草地攤
Looking back at Freespace Happening #9: Man Lung @ Handicraft Market (for English please scroll down)
「自由約」的「青草地攤」深受大家歡迎，當中練黑（文龍）更曾經八次擺檔，寫上超過500張藝術字作品。
去年3月底，文龍受網絡世界上「賣字」的人啟發，以科學毛筆、秀麗筆等展開藝術字創作。他發現題字的效率比畫畫高，而且訊息較能直接傳遞給受眾，容易表達情感，所以一直維持這種創作形式。
文龍在「自由約」的顧客群非常廣泛，由外國到本地人，青年到長者，情侶到單身人士，也曾經「幫襯」他。不同的人會找他寫關於學業、感情、工作、健康等不同問題的文字。他形容自己就像一位「以文字開藥的醫生」，透過題字來為別人舒解，希望他們可以「放下負能量，帶走正能量」。一次有位客人正面對工作上的煩惱，要求文龍為他寫「放肆去闖」四字，後來他也順利轉工，他感激文龍的題字，因為它提醒自己要有勇氣踏出這一步。
就如文龍為自己所寫的打氣字句「天道酬勤」，現在的他，正勤加練字，為未來爭取更多擺檔或到外地交流的機會。希望在9月「自由約」，大家可以再次看到他以文字為我們鼓舞！
The Freespace Happening Handicraft Market has lots of fans. One is calligraphy artist Man Lung, who has created more than 500 pieces of calligraphic art at 8 of our markets!
Man Lung was inspired to do calligraphy when he saw other people sharing their work online. Using a Chinese writing brush, he created his own decorative font and started writing messages to order. Although he also paints, he likes the directness of calligraphy, and the fact that it’s easier to connect with customers through words than through pictures.
People of all ages and nationalities come to Man Lung for auspicious texts – for studies, health or work. Sometimes it makes him feel like a doctor, writing prescriptions to help people stay happy and positive!
Man Lung never stops practicing and is always looking for new places to share his creative messages – we hope to see him back again at Freespace Happening in September!
