Year of the Tiger

元宵節快乐 Happy Lantern Festival! The Lantern Festival is a beautiful tradition that is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It’s also the night of the first full moon of the year. To celebrate the Year of the Tiger and honor my culture, I illustrated a tiger cub overlooking the lantern festival from Li Jiang (the Li River) in Guilin, China. Guilin is known for its breathtaking karst hills and is just north of where I was born. After learning this, I felt closer to home every time I looked at reference photos of the region.
