Tsang Kin-wah

Since we're on a roll with wallcoverings, here is another designer who is too good to pass up. Chinese artist Tsang Kin-wah's meticulously rendered patterns are a wild combination of floral motifs and calligraphy. Take a closer look Tsang's designs and you will see that they are really composed of rivers of text. English words and phrases (sometimes not the most polite language) flow between beautifully drawn Chinese characters. The overall effect is dazzling, but it's the incredible detail that takes the cake. (Thanks to Paul for this one.)
