hillbilly oracle

2001 was the Lunar calendar “Year of the Snake.” A “snake year” is thought to be lucky. Called the “little dragon,” the snake is a symbol of good fortune. Those born in the Year of the Snake are said to be wise, decisive, attractive, and charming. This was the ninth stamp in the Lunar New Year Series.

3. agonizing over the present

I really wanted to create a Mucha inspired art piece and I thought about the last unicorn… such an amazing piece of fantasy. I tried to incoporate many fascettes of the movie but I feel like I need to rewatch it for another time and study it.
