I came across a couple of more sketchbooks. In one, I found a practice run for a Chinese New Year's card I made for a friend in 2008. I've made a few different cards over the years. Some hand made for an individual, others printed for holidays. (I've always wanted to do a lino print run.)
2007 was the year of the pig, and 2008 was the year of the rat. With that info, I think you get the idea. My friend seemed to like the card, which was all that mattered.
Attachments:
- Cartoon image of a rat running upright wielding a broom chasing a pig. The pig has a worried expression, and the rat has what appears to be a confident expression. (remote)
- Same picture as before, but this was the final one done on red card stock. I also used gold ink to place a symbol in the middle above the pig and rat. The symbol (if I copied it correctly) should mean something like "good fortune". There's a bit of a smudge under the rat that I corrected with a careful application of an X-acto blade before giving the card to my friend. (remote)
