Its the Year of the Dog Happy New Year!

This day marks the Chinese New Year and the beginning of the year of the dog.  I chose to depict the shih tzu a breed of dog that originated from China.

What makes this year special is that we had the opportunity to host two university students from China for three weeks. It was joy getting to know them and learn more about China. I was also born in the year of the dog.

It's the Year of the Rooster!

In honor of the Chinese New Year, I drew a rooster.

Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Monkey

Monkey (ˈməNGkē)

In order to celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year i thought it best to post something related to the year of the monkey. Specifically, this is a grey langur. They are found throughout South Asia. It is thought that people born in this year are intelligent, witty, mischievous and playful (but not to hurt others).

Its the year of the Snake

The Chinese New Year started yesterday and in honor of the year of the snake I decided to finally do a snake bow tie guy.
