I was searching for information on Shi Suxi and some other goings on around dengfeng, and I came across this.

Dec 14, 2007 - 9:26 AM - by doc Shi De Yang has contacted me, to help him with a project of his. Now, my apologies, but he asked me two months ago. And I've just been too damn busy to sit down and organize it. But, here it is.
The Commemorative SuXi Photo Book.
DeYang wants to author a book dedicated to his master, and Shaolin's one true grandmaster, now deceased. He asked me to help organize it. This is what we need.
1. We're looking for OLD PHOTOS about Suxi, some of the older monks of his generation, and photos of Shaolin Temple that might depict what the temple looked like during his tenure (1940's to 1980's). These photos can be ones that come from personal collections. or from magazines or newspaper articles. Of course. we'll need the original author's information so that work can be properly credited. Personal photos with the original photographer (ie, you), are acceptable.
2. Any information about Suxi's old calligraphy or stone carvings. Now i wasn't aware that Suxi got involved in stone carving, but, apparently, according to DeYang, this was one of his hobbies.
The book is currently being planned at about 100 pages, but, that will be dictated by the amount of information that is received. The book will broach the following topics:
1. A brief introduction to Shaolin Temple, it's recent history (during Suxi's life), and, also some discussion about the First Ancestor Temple and other temple's around Shaolin.
2. Some discussion about Suxi's life and deeds, and his various activities, including teaching, calligraphy, etc.
3. A chapter on Suxi's 80th birthday celebration (Photos of that are also desirable).
4. A listing of the disciples that Suxi has left behind.
On top of photos and relevant articles, DeYang is asking that the community help support this project financially, also. Funds will be needed to produce this book.
I've asked Deyang to ensure that all contributors, financial or otherwise, get credited within the book in some sort of way. I've asked that contributors who donate pictures are properly credited with their photo submission. Financial donors should be identified in a separate and noticeable way. Now, as I am not really part of this project, I cannot guarantee that this will happen. I'm only the middleman here. But, I will do my best to ensure that donors of whatever nature, are properly credited. I've been fairly close with Deyang over the past twelve years, so I don't see any reason why this should be an issue.
Photos can be submitted directly to me, at doc@russbo.com
Please make sure that you identify yourselves in your email, as to how you want to be credited within the book. Financial donors can make donations in the Donor Section of the site. I will wire transfer that money directly to Shi De Yang's bank account.

so, I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any public copies of any calligraphy or books / scrolls or couplets etc that have been written by shi suxi firstly and then any from anyone in a similar role prior?
I also came across this link and thought that it was also worth posting.
pls feel free to discuss, and many thanks in advance for any and all informations.
