I'm not at all sure about the first one - I just can't see the essence 
of chaos in it.
But I definitely like the second one, although I'm not sure whether the 
pictogram should encroach into the image - perhaps it should be 
superimposed on the image - Asian art that I've seen always has them as 
part of the canvas/paper in one of the corners (Hokusai usually had them 
top left or top right - if at all).

BTW, Up to now I had always thought Hanji was a kind of paper made of 
Mulberry bark - we live and learn :-)
