This year, instead of a Christmas piece, I made a New Year's piece, which was actually commissioned by my girlfriend to send out as a postcard to her family.
2012 is the year of the dragon. It's interesting to note that although Lunar New Year isn't until January 23rd, the Japanese celebrate the New Year's on January 1st.
Made these a few weeks ago, I was holding off on posting them because I had a few more flag mash-up ideas to go with them, but I'm really busy with freelancing + my day job lately so I haven't time.
"CANIPPON" - Canada / Japan
"MIHANGUK" - USA / Republic of Korea
They can either be taken as political commentaries (particularly the Mihanguk one) or just flags for people of two ethnicities. Hopefully I haven't offended anyone.
