Is there a version that can be mounted on the wall/cubicle? Having this on a stand is rather pointless, and rather obtuse to anyone that actually does calligraphy.

GrassMudHorseI'm sure you could mount this on a wall like a picture frame. Removable Command picture hanging strips would probably work well.

GrassMudHorseTwo reasons for the stand:
1) The slant it provides slows excess water on its way down the board. Unless you're particularly careful about how wet your brush strokes are, a perfectly vertical board might have excess drip. Which might drip down the wall.
2) It holds the water and the brush, making the whole system a little more self contained.
I have one and I really enjoy it, but I don't practice calligraphy on it. I have it at my desk at work, and when I get bored or need to step away from a problem I spend a couple minutes trying to draw a perfect circle, or just drawing random patterns to see what emerges. The only downside is that the holder tends to absorb minerals from the water and get a little white/gunky, and needs to be cleaned out semi-often.

GrassMudHorseAs someone who does calligraphy casually, I don't see the point of hanging it on the wall or putting it on a stand. I have always done brush calligraphy on a level surface, and that's how I've always seen it done as well.
Part of that is ink, like water, will drip, and that only gets worse the greater the angle of incline.

darkfelineExactly, you paint it flat, and hang it up vertically. A forced slanted stand is rather obtuse

GrassMudHorsei think you forget the fact that by the time you hang it up it'll probably be dry.. lmao. It dries in 3 minutes. But if you want to hang it I'm sure its possible.
