Today is International Geologist Day! Go tell a geologist you appreciate their work! Also, here’s a series of geology themed illustrations I made of TB and Mona that I wanna share for today.
Happy new year, happy year of the dragon! In Asia dragons are associated with rain and agriculture, amongst other things, bringing the greens we love to eat. When I lived in Japan I learned of the tradition of sending a postcard with the zodiac animal of the year on New year's day (which is January 1st in Japan). I illustrated 12 japanese new years postcards over the years. This year I'm starting the cycle anew but making it Korean themed. The rest of Asia celebrates the lunar New Year later in the year but I've become accustomed to making these my holiday cards so I'm sticking with sending them out on January 1st. 새해 복 많이 받으세요 sae-hae bok man-i ba-deu-se-yo means please receive a lot of new year luck in Korean. I will be in my 50s by the time I've completed another 12 yr zodiac animal cycle, that's crazy. May your 2024 be like a dragon and if it does rain, you will grow that much more from it. Happy new year everyone.
