🌊🐇🎊 Happy Lunar New Year!!! 🎊🐇🌊

Every year, I see incredible artists make beautiful pieces to celebrate, and now it’s my turn!

This vermillion gouache piece is inspired by the Water Rabbit year, and is available as an ORIGINAL(!) or limited print.

This is my first time offering an original via my online store.

@pepperraccoon The Chinese man sitting next to me is very impressed. From seeing the illustration, he assumed that the artist was Chinese also :-D

@DrCuriosity I was trying to be very careful not to tread too closely to cultural appropriation, but it felt wrong not to use vermillion as it's such a lucky colour!

@pepperraccoon I'm told it was the perfect colour to use, very appropriate for the occasion.
